Kate Lawrance

Kate Lawrance is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina with seven years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship struggles, addiction, ADHD, and life transitions. Her approach is practical and goal-focused, aimed at helping clients take steps that make daily life feel more manageable.

Kate starts by listening closely and letting each person set the pace. She uses a person-centered foundation so clients guide the work while she offers structure and support. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is often combined into sessions to connect thoughts and actions and to build new, healthier patterns.

She also draws on existential ideas to talk about meaning, choice, and how worry shows up in life. Mindfulness practices and brief motivational techniques are used when they fit a client’s goals. Creative methods such as art-based exercises can be added if someone prefers a different way to express themselves.

Sessions are focused on clear, doable steps and on skills that can be practiced between meetings. Kate aims to make therapy feel nonjudgmental and engaging, with straightforward conversation and practical tools. She adapts her style to each person’s needs and priorities.

Working with Kate is described as a collaborative process where clients and therapist set goals together. She emphasizes small changes that add up, helping people move toward a more satisfying daily life.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. In online sessions this means the therapist asks open questions, reflects what is said, and adjusts pacing to match the client's comfort. This approach is useful for people who need space to process and set their own goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is about identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors. Online CBT sessions can teach practical exercises and homework that help with anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and anger management. Clients often practice skills between sessions and bring results back to discuss.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide whether client-centered listening, CBT exercises, or existential conversations fit best. This is a shared process that can change as goals evolve.

Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can help fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel, making it easier to schedule around work or parenting, and allowing shorter check-ins when needed.
