About Catherine
Catherine Schurman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Louisiana with eight years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, mood disorders such as bipolar and depression, and anger concerns. She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, addiction, sleep and eating issues, ADHD, career concerns, and intimacy-related struggles.
In sessions she focuses on practical conversation and clear steps. She adapts the way she talks and plans work to each person's situation. That means discussing immediate problems and building coping skills for day-to-day life. Clients can expect direct discussion about what’s causing stress or resentment and options for responding differently.
Catherine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. She helps people break down repeated reactions, spot triggers, and practice new responses. For mood and anxiety concerns she pairs problem-focused work with attention to relationships and routines that affect mood.
She aims to be respectful and sensitive in how she listens and responds. Treatment plans are developed collaboratively, with a focus on measurable steps and check-ins. That might include short-term goals, homework between visits, or strategies to manage strong feelings when they arise.
Starting therapy with her involves answering a short matching questionnaire and booking a first session. Catherine accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. Her practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
Approaches used and how online sessions work
She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and behavior change. One common approach is problem-focused work that identifies triggers and practices alternative responses; this helps with anger, stress, and anxiety by making patterns clearer and more manageable. Another approach emphasizes mood regulation strategies and routine changes to support depression and bipolar mood concerns; this includes pacing activities and building daily structure.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting plans together rather than insisting on a single method.
The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let someone attend from a quieter environment, use less bandwidth by choosing audio only, or schedule sessions during breaks from work. These practical benefits often make regular appointments easier to keep while working toward clearer ways of handling anger and mood challenges.
