LPC, 9 years of experience
Welcome! I'm Kate Lauretano, I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in CT. I have been practicing over 9 years and have worked in a variety of settings including outpatient, detox, inpatient/residential, and high schools. I've supported adults, adolescents and families through different life challenges. With a person-centered approach, I hope to make this a warm, welcoming and safe space to support you through this time.
In our first session together, we'll start with introductions and time for you to become familiar and comfortable with the therapeutic process. I welcome my clients to share as much of their background and history as they feel is necessary or not, as we begin to dive into the specific challenges you are facing.
In my practice I strive to provide a safe environment where my clients can openly share their thoughts and feelings.
My clients are individuals who are looking to make improvements or changes in their lives, but often times they feel insecure, overwhelmed and do not have the tools yet to make their goals a reality. We will work closely together to develop a plan, that outlines your personal intentions and goals.
We all experience anxiety in some form or another, but it needs to be addressed when it starts to get in the way of our happiness or productivity. I’ve been treating Anxiety several years, mainly using CBT. In therapy we will focus on what triggers your anxious thoughts and potential automatic negative thought patterns. Then, we’ll create a plan that includes evidence-based techniques and work through it together until your anxiety is manageable.

Kate really made me feel comfortable for my first session. I have never been to therapy so I was nervous. However she was open, really listened to how I was feeling and welcomed me. Look forward to more sessions with her.
