About Katharine
Katharine "Katie" Blum is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with over 11 years of experience. Katie identifies as non-binary and aims to build a respectful, affirming space for people from the LGBTQIA+ community. They emphasize clear, practical steps that feel manageable day to day.
Katie sees counseling as a collaborative journey. They treat each person as the expert on their own life and focus on goals the client chooses.
Background and approach
Sessions move at a steady, realistic pace so people can try new ways of coping between meetings. Katie often supports people who are neurodivergent, including those with Autism Spectrum Disorder and ADHD. They also address a wide range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and parenting challenges.
The approach is flexible to fit what each person needs. Therapeutically, Katie draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness practices, and client-centered work. In plain terms that means focusing on values, learning specific skills, noticing thoughts without getting swept up in them, and helping people strengthen what matters most.
People can expect a down-to-earth style that mixes skill-building with honest conversation. Katie helps clients prioritize small, achievable changes while keeping sight of longer-term goals. The emphasis is on practical tools and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Katie uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters most and take small steps toward those values, even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings arise. ACT is practical for life changes, grief, and chronic stress because it focuses on actions that match personal goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another core method used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice different responses. CBT is helpful for anxiety, depression, anger, and mood regulation by teaching concrete skills to change behaviors and reactions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Katie collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and adjustments are made as the work progresses. They check in regularly to keep treatment aligned with what the client wants to achieve.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets, phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing questions and brief skill practice. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep momentum between meetings.
