About Catherine
Catherine Surovy is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who brings 13 years of clinical experience to her work. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and complex life changes. Catherine aims to make therapy practical and easy to understand for concerned parents and adults looking for steady support.
She draws on mindfulness methods to help clients build awareness of thoughts and feelings. Catherine also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas to guide conversations about values, relationships, and emotional coping. Sessions typically center on small, doable steps people can try between meetings.
Catherine has worked in residential and outpatient settings and in leadership roles serving Medicare families. That background includes supporting youth with intense trauma histories and young people involved with systems such as DCS and probation. She brings that experience into planning care that considers family dynamics and practical barriers.
Her style is relational and grounded in real-life problems. She partners with caregivers to share psychoeducation and communication strategies that help households function better. Catherine aims for clients to leave sessions with clearer next steps and a stronger sense of agency.
Clients can expect straightforward conversation about coping skills, communication, and rebuilding self-esteem. Catherine tailors her approach to each person's situation and uses a mix of cognitive, acceptance, and mindfulness-based tools to meet their needs.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Mindfulness Therapy focuses on simple practices that increase awareness of thoughts, bodily sensations, and emotions so people can choose more helpful reactions. It is often useful for anxiety, stress, rumination, and improving emotional regulation.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take steps toward those values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. It is well suited to life transitions, low motivation, and chronic worry.
Attachment-Based ideas look at how early and current relationships influence how someone connects and copes, and they guide work on communication patterns and trust in relationships.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Catherine will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and daily realities. The process often includes trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as needed.
Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, remove travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It may also let people join from a quieter space, use less bandwidth by avoiding video, or schedule sessions around work and caregiving demands.
These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing mindfulness as an approach does not mean a therapist holds a formal mindfulness training or certificate.
