Set the HorizontalContentAlignment property of the ListViewItem container to Stretch and use a CellTemplate with a TextBlock for the cell you want to center:

<ListView
        Grid.Column="0"
        Margin="3,3,0,3"
        HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
        VerticalAlignment="Stretch"
        ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Auto"
        ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Visible"
        SelectionMode="Single">
    <ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
        <Style TargetType="ListViewItem">
            <Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Stretch"/>
        </Style>
    </ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
    <ListView.View>
        <GridView AllowsColumnReorder="False">
            <GridView.Columns>
                <GridViewColumn Width="100" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding CopiedFrom}">
                    <GridViewColumn.Header>
                        <GridViewColumnHeader>Copied From:</GridViewColumnHeader>
                    </GridViewColumn.Header>
                </GridViewColumn>

                <!-- Centered: -->
                <GridViewColumn Width="100">
                    <GridViewColumn.HeaderContainerStyle>
                        <Style TargetType="{x:Type GridViewColumnHeader}">
                            <Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Center" />
                        </Style>
                    </GridViewColumn.HeaderContainerStyle>
                    <GridViewColumn.Header>
                        <GridViewColumnHeader>Date/Time:</GridViewColumnHeader>
                    </GridViewColumn.Header>
                    <GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
                        <DataTemplate>
                            <TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}" HorizontalAlignment="Center" />
                        </DataTemplate>
                    </GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
                </GridViewColumn>
            </GridView.Columns>
        </GridView>
    </ListView.View>
</ListView>
