About Catherine
Catherine Surovy draws on a relational, systems-oriented practice to help people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and ADHD-related challenges. She is a licensed counselor (LPC, LCPC) with 13 years of professional experience and uses evidence-informed methods to support changes in thinking, behavior, and relationships.
Background and approach
Catherine emphasizes building stronger connections and clearer communication as part of lasting change. Her work integrates approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment strategies, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to address mood, coping with life transitions, grief, and addictive patterns.
Catherine also focuses on issues like self-esteem, guilt and shame, isolation, and life purpose, helping clients develop practical strategies and new perspectives. She partners with caregivers when relevant to offer psychoeducation and support that improves family interactions.
Based in Montana, Catherine blends warmth and clinical training to create a collaborative atmosphere. Her practice aims to help clients identify workable goals, practice new skills, and strengthen relationships so they can move forward with greater clarity and resilience.
Practical approaches and online therapy options
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes values-based action and learning to accept difficult internal experiences while committing to meaningful change. These approaches are often paired with skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to build emotional regulation and distress tolerance when needed.
Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with each client to assess goals, preferences, and current challenges, then tailors interventions and adjusts methods over time so the plan fits the person rather than forcing a single model.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make regular work on goals easier to sustain around busy schedules. These formats can support skill practice between sessions and provide different ways to connect based on comfort and practical needs, helping clients access consistent care from licensed professionals.
