About Kathryn

Kathryn Lawrence is a licensed clinical social worker based in Indiana. She holds LCSW and LISW credentials and brings 15 years of experience helping adults manage anxiety, depression, and self-esteem struggles. Her work is grounded in practical skills and steady support for people feeling overwhelmed by everyday stress.

She uses straightforward, evidence-based approaches to help people with panic symptoms, mood disorders, and social anxiety. Sessions focus on learning tools for calming the body, shifting unhelpful thinking, and practicing changes that fit each person’s life. The goal is clearer thinking and better coping, not a quick fix.

Kathryn adapts her style to each person's needs. She combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with elements of cognitive-behavioral work and client-centered listening. Motivational Interviewing is used when change feels hard or stalled.

Over the years she has supported people facing caregiver stress, communication problems, intellectual disability, and personality-related concerns. She also works with those affected by autism and Asperger Syndrome and with people managing bipolar conditions.

Her sessions emphasize small, concrete steps that add up. She aims to be a steady partner in learning new reactions to panic and anxiety. People leave with practical plans they can use between sessions.

How Kathryn’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, panic symptoms, and struggles with motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and practicing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood, which can be useful for panic attacks and social anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to see what methods match a person’s goals and daily life. Sessions can blend approaches so people learn skills that actually fit their routines and values.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or school by reducing travel time. It also allows shorter check-ins when that fits a schedule and makes it possible to practice skills between sessions in real-life settings. Licensed professionals can help plan a schedule that balances skill practice with everyday demands.
