Kate Lawrance, LCMHC

Kate Lawrance is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina. She helps people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship stress, addiction, parenting strain, ADHD, and major life changes. Her style is direct and supportive, focused on helping clients meet clear goals.

She uses a person-centered approach that lets the client set the pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is often part of sessions to link thoughts and behaviors and build practical skills. Existential ideas help when clients are wrestling with meaning, life direction, or persistent anxiety about big choices.

Kate blends methods like mindfulness and motivational interviewing when they suit the work. She may include Jungian ideas and creative art-based activities if a client is interested in symbolic or expressive ways to process feelings. The mix is chosen to match what each person needs rather than a fixed program.

Her way of working emphasizes clear steps and measurable progress. Conversations often turn toward managing daily stress, handling panic, improving communication, and building routines that reduce relapse risk for addictive behaviors. Sessions aim to leave people with skills they can use between meetings.

Kate has practiced since 2014 and brings seven years of post-licensure experience to her work. She describes therapy as collaborative and practical, and she focuses on helping people move toward a more manageable, meaningful life.

How these approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's lead. In online sessions this means the therapist offers a calm, nonjudgmental presence and lets the client's concerns set the agenda, whether the focus is stress, relationship worries, or addiction-related challenges.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. In remote work CBT tools can include guided practices, activity plans, and straightforward homework to test new ways of coping with anxiety, panic, or cravings.

Mindfulness-based techniques help people notice their experience without getting swept away by it. These practices are useful for managing intense emotions, rumination, and urges that come with addictive behaviors or panic attacks.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their preferences, and adjust the plan over time if something isn’t helping. This shared decision-making helps shape a practical path forward.

Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use written or creative exercises between meetings. Those practical benefits help therapy fit into everyday life without promising a specific outcome.
