About Kate
Kate Conochan is a licensed social worker who offers practical, down-to-earth support for people facing stress, anger, addiction, and life transitions. She holds LISW and LCSW credentials and brings 15 years of clinical experience to her work in Louisiana. Kate keeps sessions focused and straightforward so people can make steady progress toward the goals they set.
Kate's practice centers on a client-centered approach that helps people decide their priorities. She partners with clients to set realistic steps and timelines.
Background and approach
Building a trusting working relationship is a clear priority in early sessions. Her background includes long-term work with adults coping with addiction, trauma, depression, anxiety, and psychotic disorders. She also has experience supporting children who have been in foster care or involved with juvenile justice, though most of her recent practice has been with adults.
In session she uses practical therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness tools to manage thoughts, emotions, and behavior. Sessions often focus on skills people can use between meetings to reduce stress and manage anger. Kate also addresses interpersonal concerns like relationship strain, communication problems, parenting challenges, and grief.
She helps people navigate career changes and the emotional fallout of life transitions. Clients meet with Kate by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging. She works collaboratively to set goals and adjust the plan as progress is made.

How her approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anger, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to change them, which can help with depression, anxiety, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and working at the pace the person sets, creating space to clarify goals and feel heard.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kate treats the choice of methods as a collaboration. She will talk with each person about their needs, try techniques, and adjust the plan so it fits their goals and preferences.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people read visual cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a break at work. Live chat or text-based messaging can support short check-ins, ongoing coaching, or a quick way to reinforce new coping strategies between sessions. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and other commitments.
