Catherine Chapman, LCSW - Therapist in Oklahoma

About Catherine

Catherine Chapman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, trauma, and parenting challenges. She works with concerns such as compassion fatigue, self-esteem struggles, career stress, bipolar mood concerns, and life transitions. Catherine practices in Oklahoma and speaks English.

Her approach is practical and straightforward. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, for trauma work and mindfulness techniques to help calm the body and mind.

Background and approach

Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy inform short-term goal work and planning. Catherine trained at the University of Oklahoma for her Master of Social Work and holds an LCSW credential. She has experience in hospital and medical settings supporting patients and families through illness, grief, and difficult transitions.

That background informs how she responds to stress and crisis. In sessions she centers the person’s strengths and context. She views people as experts on their own lives and offers tools, perspective, and steady listening.

Sessions tend to focus on clear goals, practical coping skills, and steps to reduce distress. People who choose her can expect attentive, goal-oriented support with a range of practical methods. She aims to help clients build skills they can use outside of sessions to manage stress and move forward.

Online approaches for trauma, stress, and change

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps you notice the thoughts and patterns that feed anxiety or low mood and then tests small behavior changes to shift those patterns. It tends to be practical and goal oriented, useful for worry, depression, and everyday stress.

EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a trauma-focused method that works on processing distressing memories and their emotional impact. It can reduce the intensity of traumatic reactions and help people feel less overwhelmed by past events.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with you about your needs and goals, try methods that fit your situation, and adjust the plan as you progress. This is a collaborative process and choices are made with your preferences in mind.

Online therapy offers flexible options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging to fit busy schedules. These formats make it easier to keep consistent appointments, use skills in the moment, and connect from home or work. Licensed professionals can use these tools to deliver CBT, EMDR-informed strategies, mindfulness practice, and focused coaching in a way that fits each person’s life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

EMDR

A structured protocol used with distressing memories, pairing recall with guided attention tasks. Some therapists adapt it for video sessions; whether that fits is worth asking about directly.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
