About Catherine
Catherine Chapman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Oklahoma who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, addiction, compassion fatigue, eating concerns, self-esteem struggles, career questions, bipolar symptoms, and other life changes.
Background and approach
She also attends to issues related to caregiving burden, divorce and separation, first responder challenges, hospice and end-of-life situations, veteran and armed forces matters, and post-traumatic stress. Catherine brings a practical, strengths-oriented perspective to therapy and integrates coaching elements when clients are working toward specific goals.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside trauma-focused techniques such as EMDR and mindfulness strategies to help clients process difficult experiences and develop new coping skills. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods also appear in sessions to clarify priorities, build motivation, and create manageable steps forward.
With four years of documented experience as a practicing clinician and the LCSW credential, she aims to collaborate with each person to identify strengths, normalize reactions to hardship, and offer concrete tools for change. Catherine’s background includes hospital and medical social work, which informs her sensitivity to health-related stress and caregiving concerns.
She frames therapy as a respectful, nonjudgmental partnership in which clients’ expertise about their own lives guides the work together.
Approaches for Online Healing and Skills-Building
Online work with this therapist can draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR alongside mindfulness practices to address both current patterns and past distress. CBT focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and to build practical coping skills. EMDR is a trauma-focused method used to help process distressing memories and lessen their emotional impact, often paired with stabilization strategies when needed. Mindfulness therapy offers simple attention and breathing practices that support emotional regulation and stress reduction.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to each person’s priorities and life context, then discuss which methods make sense for their goals and preferences, adjusting the plan over time as needs evolve.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access ongoing support from Oklahoma without needing in-person visits, and they allow the therapist and client to use a mix of real-time conversation and written check-ins to maintain momentum between sessions.
