About Catherine

Catherine Schurman is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Louisiana who draws on eight years of professional experience to support people facing a wide range of life challenges.

Background and approach

She works with concerns such as stress and anxiety, depression and bipolar mood conditions, addiction, trauma and grief, relationship and intimacy issues, challenges with eating and sleeping, anger and self-esteem, and ADHD. Catherine approaches each person with sensitivity and respect, shaping conversations and plans to fit individual needs rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions.

Her practice emphasizes collaborative planning and practical support tailored to a client's goals, whether those relate to career transitions, coping with life changes, LGBT-related matters, or improving close relationships. Catherine recognizes the courage involved in seeking help and aims to create a therapeutic experience that balances empathy with concrete strategies.

She welcomes English-speaking clients and accepts international clients for online work, offering multiple remote session formats to accommodate different schedules and preferences.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care

Many clients benefit from evidence-based techniques that combine practical skill-building with emotional support. Cognitive-behavioral strategies focus on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related challenges. Skills-based interventions for mood regulation and coping teach concrete tools to manage stress, mood swings, cravings, and daily routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and the therapist will collaborate with each client to determine what methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. This process includes discussing options, trying tools in session, and adjusting the plan over time so the work feels relevant and helpful.

Online therapy with Catherine is designed to increase accessibility and fit into busy lives by offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats allow for ongoing support from a licensed professional without the need to travel, making it easier to maintain momentum between sessions and use skills in real-world moments.
