About Kathryn

Kathryn Lawrence is a licensed social worker who draws on cognitive behavioral therapy alongside other evidence-based methods to help people manage emotional and practical challenges.

Background and approach

With 15 years of clinical experience, she focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, panic, and self-esteem while also addressing compassion fatigue and relationship difficulties. Her work includes attention to mood disorders, personality difficulties, social anxiety and phobia, and the particular needs of people on the autism spectrum and those with intellectual disability.

She uses a person-centered stance that emphasizes collaboration and practical strategies, blending approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to match each client’s goals. Kathryn’s practice also supports caregivers coping with stress and communication problems, helping clients develop coping skills for life changes and manage recurring patterns that interfere with daily functioning.

Based in Indiana, she conducts sessions in English and offers a range of remote session formats to fit different schedules and preferences.

Evidence-informed approaches for remote care

Kathryn commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to address thoughts, behaviors, and values-driven action. CBT offers practical strategies to identify and reshape unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, panic, and other mood concerns. ACT focuses on increasing psychological flexibility through acceptance, mindfulness, and committed action to help clients live in line with their values even when difficult emotions arise.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Kathryn works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions based on each person’s situation and reviews progress to adjust techniques when necessary so the work remains focused and relevant.

Online sessions are available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and fit therapy into busy lives while still providing regular, structured therapeutic work with a licensed professional.
