About Katharine

Katharine "Katie" Blum is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with more than 11 years of clinical experience. They bring a humanistic, client-centered perspective that honors each person as the expert on their own life and prioritizes clients' goals, hopes, and values when shaping treatment.

Background and approach

Katie identifies as genderqueer and emphasizes creating an affirming environment for LGBTQIA+ people. Their work addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, grief, depression, ADHD, trauma, intimacy-related issues, and compassion fatigue, alongside many additional focus areas such as attachment challenges, autism and Asperger Syndrome, body image, and chronic pain.

Therapeutic techniques draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness practices, and motivational strategies to build practical skills and support personal growth.

Katie aims to make counseling a collaborative journey toward a life clients can genuinely embrace, blending warmth and clinical tools to help clients clarify values, manage difficult emotions, and move toward meaningful change. They offer flexible online session formats to accommodate different needs and schedules.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to help clients clarify what matters most to them and take committed action in line with those values while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and teaching practical strategies to change them, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Mindfulness-informed techniques are woven into sessions to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, supporting emotional regulation and coping across a range of concerns.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative rather than fixed. The therapist works with each person to explore goals, preferences, and responses to different methods, adapting strategies over time so treatment matches the client’s needs and priorities.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules or varied day-to-day situations. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver therapeutic tools, skill-building, and supportive conversation from a distance while accommodating different communication styles and logistical needs.
