About Catherine
Catherine Surovy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 13 years of experience. She works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, parenting, addictions, grief, anger, low self-esteem, depression, life changes, and ADHD. Catherine speaks English and practices in Montana.
She has a background in residential and outpatient settings and has worked with at-risk youth and families. That experience includes supporting young people who have navigated systems like child welfare and probation, and helping those with intense trauma histories. Catherine uses practical, skills-based methods in sessions and draws on several therapy approaches to support behavior change and emotional regulation.
In sessions she focuses on building clearer patterns of thinking and responding. She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, practice different reactions, and test what works in everyday life. She also partners with caregivers to provide psychoeducation and guidance on communication and responses to children.
Catherine combines cognitive and behavioral strategies with acceptance and mindfulness skills where useful. She also uses some techniques from attachment-focused work and dialectical behavior methods when appropriate. Her work tends to be structured and goal-oriented, with clear steps for practicing new skills between meetings.

How her approaches translate to online work
CBT focuses on spotting and testing thoughts and behaviors. Online sessions can include structured skill practice, brief behavioral experiments, and step-by-step homework to try between meetings. That approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and problems with daily coping.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what they value and take committed action toward it. In remote sessions ACT techniques can be used to clarify values and set small, doable goals that fit into everyday life.
Attachment-based work looks at patterns in relationships and how early connections affect current responses. Online conversations can identify unhelpful interaction patterns and rehearse new ways of relating to caregivers or others.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Catherine will discuss goals and preferences and recommend which methods to try first. She adjusts the plan based on what is working and what needs more practice.
The biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so please confirm available session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Those practical benefits often help people keep consistent work on goals while managing everyday responsibilities.
