About Kate
Kate Lawrance is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with seven years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, parenting strain, addiction, ADHD, and big life changes. Her style is grounded and practical, aimed at helping people move toward clearer goals and better daily functioning.
She begins by listening and following each person’s lead, creating a nonjudgmental space where goals are set together. Kate uses client-centered methods to make room for the client’s pace and priorities. She often blends cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and adjust behaviors that get in the way.
Motivational Interviewing is part of her approach when someone wants help resolving mixed feelings or finding stronger reasons to change. She also draws on existential perspectives to look at meaning, purpose, and how anxiety shows up in life. When appropriate, Kate can incorporate art-based activities as another way to express and process feelings.
Sessions focus on practical steps, clearer communication, and coping tools that fit daily life. She pays attention to issues like self-esteem, guilt and shame, loneliness, panic, workplace strain, and young adult concerns. People can expect a collaborative process where progress is measured against the goals they set.
To begin, clients use the platform Start Therapy flow to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability. Fees vary by location and the subscription model can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches shape online care
Kate blends Motivational Interviewing, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people clarify goals and take manageable steps toward change. Motivational Interviewing focuses on exploring mixed feelings and strengthening personal motivation for change. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the client’s pace so sessions feel guided by what matters most to the person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kate collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than imposing a single style.
If you prefer online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also offer a way to work on communication, coping skills, and motivation in the context of everyday life. Licensed professionals use these approaches to support progress that matches each client’s goals. -
