Kate Lawrance, LCMHC

Kate Lawrance is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina. Her LCMHC credential indicates specialized training and a license to provide clinical mental health counseling. Since beginning her work in the counseling field in 2014, she has supported people facing depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, ADHD, mood dysregulation, parenting challenges, career concerns, addiction, and major life stress. She uses solution-focused interventions aimed at helping clients identify concrete steps toward their goals.

Kate strives to make counseling feel engaging, non-judgmental, and attuned to each person’s pace. Her work is grounded in person-centered theory, which centers the client’s perspective and lets the individual guide the focus and speed of therapy. She often integrates cognitive behavioral techniques to explore links between thoughts and behaviors, and existential ideas to address how fear, meaning, and anxiety influence daily life. She also uses motivational interviewing to highlight discrepancies between values and actions, and can incorporate art therapy when creative expression may open new pathways for communication and change.

Therapy is tailored to the unique needs and goals of each person. Kate approaches the work with respect and collaboration, supporting clients as they make changes and pursue a more fulfilling life.

Approaches and Options for Online Therapy

Kate brings together client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy to support people in online sessions. Client-centered therapy emphasizes the individual’s experience and lets the person direct the pace and focus of sessions, which can be especially helpful for exploring relationships, self-esteem, and life transitions. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on the connection between thoughts and behaviors and offers practical strategies to address anxiety, depression, panic symptoms, and unhelpful thinking patterns. She also draws on existential therapy to explore questions of meaning, purpose, and how fear or uncertainty shows up in everyday life, which can be useful for clients dealing with life changes or feelings of emptiness.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kate collaborates with each client to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and needs, adjusting techniques over time as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online therapy with Kate is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options provide flexibility for scheduling, allow therapy to fit into busy routines, and make it easier to maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are impractical. Licensed professionals can adapt interventions effectively across these formats to meet a range of concerns and support ongoing growth.
