About Catherine
Catherine Schurman is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Louisiana. She has eight years of experience helping people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and relationship concerns. She aims to meet each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion and tailors conversations to match what someone actually needs.
Her work often focuses on practical steps people can use day to day. That might include talking through mood shifts, building tools to manage anxiety, or sorting out relationship patterns that cause repeated conflict. She also supports people facing grief, trauma and abuse, addiction challenges, or struggles with sleep and eating.
Catherine helps clients who identify as LGBT and those navigating major life changes, career decisions, or concerns about intimacy and self-esteem. She offers coaching-style guidance when helpful and works with people around attention and focus issues such as ADHD.
Her approach is collaborative: she listens first, then together with the client creates a plan that fits their goals. Sessions are adapted to each person rather than following a single formula. Catherine acknowledges that starting therapy takes courage and she emphasizes a steady, respectful pace.
She provides services in English and is willing to work with international clients. Prospective clients should use the Start Therapy button to begin the short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.
How evidence-based methods shape online care
Many therapists use evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and building useful skills. One common approach teaches concrete coping strategies for anxiety and mood swings, such as breathing practices, activity planning, and step-by-step behavior changes that reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day functioning. Another approach concentrates on improving relationships and communication by identifying interaction patterns, practicing new ways of speaking, and setting clear boundaries to reduce conflict.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will learn about a client's needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend methods to try. This is a collaborative process and plans are adjusted as progress is made or goals change.
Practical benefits of online therapy often include easier fit with daily life and fewer interruptions to routine. Online options can make it simpler to schedule sessions around work or childcare, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time.
