About Catherine
Catherine Surovy uses a relational, practical approach to help people navigate stressful life moments. She names herself up front and keeps sessions focused on what matters now. Catherine is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and also holds an LCPC credential.
She brings 13 years of experience to her work in Montana. Catherine draws on approaches that help people notice their patterns, make clearer choices, and build stronger day-to-day skills. She often pairs strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy with acceptance and mindfulness practices.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and goal-minded, with room to address emotions and real-life problems together. Many people seek help for anxiety, depression, grief, addiction concerns, or stress from life changes. Catherine also addresses relationship and family issues, parenting strain, trauma and abuse, ADHD, anger, self-esteem, and social anxiety.
She works with communication problems, guilt and shame, forgiveness, isolation, and questions about life purpose and self-love. In sessions she focuses on practical tools and clearer communication. She helps people build coping skills, break unhelpful habits, and reframe painful thoughts.
Caregiver support and psychoeducation are also part of her practice when relevant. Catherine aims to make therapy feel manageable and useful. She meets people where they are, helps set small goals, and tracks progress over time.
Her style is straightforward, empathic, and focused on helping clients move toward the life they want.
Therapeutic approaches that travel well online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small committed steps toward them. It combines mindfulness exercises with practical actions to reduce avoidance and increase meaningful behavior. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and changing behaviors that keep problems going. CBT techniques often include structured exercises, homework, and skill practice that translate well to online sessions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up in daily life. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people work through deeper material with face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when video is difficult or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, sharing notes, or practicing skills between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and varied routines.
