About Kate
Kate Lawrance is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina. She has seven years of counseling experience and helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting struggles, addiction, and career or life transitions. Kate aims to make therapy approachable and practical for people who feel stuck or overwhelmed.
She keeps sessions grounded and straightforward. Clients set the pace while she offers solution-focused steps to reach clear goals.
Background and approach
Her style emphasizes listening, curiosity, and concrete strategies people can try between sessions. Kate draws from client-centered methods that let the person guide the work. She often combines that with cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going.
She also uses existential ideas to look at meaning and life direction when that feels important. Mindfulness practices are used to help quiet racing thoughts and manage stress in the moment. Motivational interviewing is added when clients want help resolving mixed feelings about change.
Kate can include creative approaches when someone prefers art as a way to express themselves. She works with adults on a wide range of concerns including ADHD, relationship strain, anger, LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. Sessions are meant to be collaborative and tailored to each person’s needs.

How Kate’s Approaches Translate to Online Sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead to build trust and clarity; online sessions use that same approach so the person decides what to bring and when to go deeper. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence behavior and uses concrete exercises; this adapts well to video or messaging formats with worksheets and between-session practice. Mindfulness techniques help manage stress and anxiety through simple attention exercises and short practices that can be guided over video or audio.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kate collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and comfort level. She will try different tools and adjust the plan based on what helps most, and she encourages feedback about what feels useful during the process.
Online therapy offers practical advantages for busy lives. Video calls let people work face-to-face without travel, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it simpler to fit regular sessions into a schedule and to practice skills in everyday moments.
