Catherine Chapman

Catherine Chapman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and related challenges. She helps with compassion fatigue, caregiver strain, addictions, eating concerns, self-esteem struggles, and life transitions. Catherine also addresses concerns tied to career, parenting, bipolar disorder, LGBT issues, and post-traumatic stress.

Catherine uses a straightforward, strengths-focused style. She listens and helps people spot practical steps they can use day to day. Mindfulness-based ideas are part of her work, along with solution-focused conversations and goal-oriented coaching. Sessions aim to clarify what matters most and build simple routines that fit into busy lives.

She trained in social work at the University of Oklahoma and holds a Master of Social Work degree. Her background includes hospital and medical settings, where she supported patients and families through health crises and end-of-life situations. That work informs how she approaches grief, hospice concerns, and first responder stress.

Catherine also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques and EMDR in her practice when appropriate. She emphasizes a person-in-environment perspective that looks at the situation around someone, not just symptoms. The process centers on the client’s own goals and strengths.

Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Catherine focuses on clear, doable tools rather than jargon. She aims to be a steady, practical ally while people work through hard changes and find new ways to cope.

How approaches like mindfulness and EMDR are used online

Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice thoughts and body sensations without judgment. It often uses short exercises to calm racing thoughts and to bring attention back to what matters in daily life, which can help with anxiety and stress.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It breaks problems into concrete patterns and teaches specific skills such as thought tracking and behavioral experiments to test new ways of coping.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a trauma-focused method that works with distressing memories and related reactions. In practice it combines focused recall with guided processing to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories over time.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Catherine will discuss your needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend methods that fit your situation. Together you’ll try strategies and adjust the plan based on what helps most.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, and make it simpler to attend from different locations. Licensed professionals can adapt mindfulness, CBT, and EMDR techniques for remote sessions when appropriate, and Catherine will help decide what works best for you.
