About Catherine
Catherine Schurman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Louisiana with eight years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, mood challenges, and relationship strains, and she includes anger among the concerns she helps address.
She focuses on clear, practical conversations. Sessions look at what is happening now, what keeps problems going, and small steps that can change interactions. Catherine adapts how she talks and plans work with each person’s circumstances and goals.
Her background includes clinical work with mood conditions such as bipolar disorder and depression, and with issues like grief, trauma, and addictions. She also supports people dealing with career pressures, sleep and eating concerns, and struggles with self-esteem or intimacy.
Catherine communicates directly and respectfully. She asks questions, listens, and suggests techniques that a person can try between sessions. The emphasis is on learning skills that reduce reactivity, manage stress, and improve relationships.
Practical matters such as scheduling and cost are handled through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people use the site’s matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Catherine offers sessions in English and accepts international clients.
How sessions work
Evidence-based approaches and how they translate to online sessions
Many therapists draw on evidence-based techniques that focus on skill building and changing unhelpful patterns. One common approach teaches practical skills for identifying triggers, managing sudden anger, and practicing different reactions in real situations; it is useful for stress, irritability, and relationship conflict. Another often-used method looks at thoughts and beliefs that fuel mood and behavior and teaches ways to test and change those thoughts to reduce anxiety and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Catherine will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily schedule. She will adjust tactics based on what helps most in practice and suggest exercises to try between sessions.
Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent traveling. Phone or video sessions can also help when someone prefers not to use video, or when a simpler, quicker check-in would work better for their day.
