About Kate
Kate Lawrance is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, ADHD, and challenges common in early adulthood like starting careers and managing life transitions.
Kate uses a person-centered approach that lets clients set the pace and priorities in sessions. She adds cognitive behavioral techniques to address the links between thoughts and actions. She also draws on existential ideas to look at meaning and how anxiety shows up, plus Jungian and mindfulness perspectives when those fit the client’s goals.
Sessions tend to be practical and goal-focused. Clients talk through current problems, try small experiments between sessions, and learn tools for managing panic, low mood, or workplace stress. Creative options such as art-based activities are offered when a client wants a different way to express themselves.
Kate supports people dealing with relationship strain, parenting pressures, addiction concerns, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. She also works with issues like guilt, shame, and workplace conflict that often affect young adults finding their path.
Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She and the client decide which methods to use and adjust them as work progresses. To start, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session so practical goals can be set and a plan agreed on.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Kate frequently uses Client-Centered Therapy. That means sessions focus on the client’s priorities and pace, with the therapist listening and responding to what matters most. This approach helps when someone is sorting out goals, values, or the stress of big life changes.She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT. CBT looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and teaches practical skills to reduce panic, manage anxiety, and change habits that get in the way of work or relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and will suggest methods to try. Decisions about which approach to use are collaborative and can be adjusted over time based on what is helpful.
Confirm the session formats before booking since the profile does not list specific delivery methods. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling around school, work, or commuting, and they can allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or for sessions that do not require video. Discuss practical arrangements when scheduling to pick the best option for daily life.
