About Catherine
Catherine Surovy is an LPC, LCPC who focuses on family and parenting concerns. She draws on 13 years of counseling experience to help parents and caregivers facing stress, grief, addiction, trauma, and everyday struggles. She speaks plainly and helps people find practical steps they can try between sessions.
She has a background working in residential and outpatient settings with at-risk youth and families. That work included supporting people through intense trauma and helping youth involved with child welfare or probation systems. This experience informs how she supports caregivers who want clearer communication and steadier responses to challenging behavior.
Catherine favors a relational and systems perspective. She concentrates on helping children and caregivers build confidence, strengthen bonds, and shift patterns that cause repeated conflict. Sessions often focus on skills families can use right away, such as communication techniques and emotion regulation strategies.
Several therapeutic methods shape her work, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). She also uses trauma-aware approaches and motivational interviewing when needed to match a family's situation.
Her practice emphasizes collaboration with caregivers. She provides psychoeducation and practical support so parents can try new responses at home. People come to her when they want clear tools, compassionate guidance, and help making lasting changes in family life.
How approach and convenience meet in online therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to change mood and reactions. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and many common family stressors. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and patterns between caregivers and children, aiming to rebuild trust and improve connection through clearer interaction and responsive communication.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each family to pick methods that match goals and day-to-day needs. That plan can shift as progress is made and new challenges show up, and the client helps guide which techniques to use.
If you are considering online therapy, check the current session options before booking since this profile does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow a shorter check-in when time is limited, and reduce travel time so parents can attend between obligations. Talk with the therapist about what will fit your schedule and which approaches would translate well to remote sessions.
