About Catherine

Catherine Surovy is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with thirteen years of experience. She combines practical therapy methods to help parents and individuals facing stress, anxiety, parenting pressures, and relationship strain. Her approach aims to make everyday challenges easier to manage.

She speaks English and practices from Montana. Catherine uses a mix of evidence-informed approaches to guide conversations and practice new skills. She leans on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and build more effective behavior patterns.

Background and approach

Mindfulness and acceptance strategies are used to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. She also emphasizes attachment-informed thinking to strengthen how people connect and communicate. That often means looking at patterns that developed over time and trying different ways of relating.

Catherine prioritizes practical tools parents can try between sessions to see real change at home. Her background includes counseling in residential and outpatient settings and work with people who have experienced intense trauma. Over the years she has helped clients navigate systems and stressful life transitions while focusing on safety and emotional regulation.

She pairs therapeutic work with caregiver-focused education when helpful. Catherine works with concerns such as depression, grief, addictions, anger, self-esteem, ADHD, and social anxiety. She also supports people dealing with forgiveness, guilt, isolation, and questions of life purpose.

Sessions are aimed at improving coping, communication, and day-to-day functioning.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches for online parenting support

Catherine commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy in her online work. CBT helps identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and builds concrete coping strategies for anxiety, depression, and behavior concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and committed action while teaching acceptance skills to reduce struggling with difficult thoughts and feelings.

She also integrates attachment-informed ideas to improve how people relate and communicate. That approach looks at relationship patterns and works on new ways to connect, which can be especially helpful for parenting stress and family interactions. Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work; Catherine will collaborate with each person to find what fits their needs and goals.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is useful for longer therapy conversations that involve teaching skills and observing interactions. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or for a focused check-in. Live chat and text messaging let clients share progress, get brief coaching, or check in between scheduled sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and maintain steady practice of new skills.
