About Catherine

Catherine Chapman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and self esteem. She also supports those facing trauma, compassion fatigue, addiction, parenting strain, career shifts, and major life changes. Catherine uses straightforward, practical guidance to help people manage what feels overwhelming right now.

She draws on several therapy methods, including cognitive behavioral techniques, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies. Sessions focus on identifying strengths, learning coping skills, and setting small, doable goals. Catherine listens without judgment and works at a steady, respectful pace.

Before clinical practice she worked in hospital and medical settings, helping patients and their families find resources and make decisions during hard times. That experience shaped how she responds to grief, medical stress, and crisis reactions. Her background informs practical problem solving and calm support during difficult transitions.

Catherine earned a Master of Social Work from the University of Oklahoma and holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential. She has four years of experience in the therapy role listed here and more years in broader social work roles. Her approach treats each person as the expert in their life while offering tools to move forward.

People who want clear techniques, steady support, and help rebuilding confidence often find her style helpful. To begin, she asks simple questions about goals and current struggles and then tailors sessions to what matters most to the individual.

How Catherine’s Approaches Work Online

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It involves learning practical skills to challenge unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and low self esteem.

EMDR, or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, helps process traumatic memories by combining focused attention with guided bilateral stimulation. It is often used when past events continue to cause strong emotional responses or avoidance.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve moment-to-moment awareness. It can support stress reduction and better emotion regulation.

Deciding on an approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what feels manageable. Together they choose methods and adjust them as progress is made.
