About Katrina

Katrina Suprise is a California licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with ten years of professional experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, and shifts in self-esteem.

Background and approach

She draws on a blend of evidence-informed methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), combining them with client-centered principles to tailor work to each person’s needs. Katrina also addresses concerns such as attachment and abandonment, guilt and shame, social anxiety, and questions about life purpose.

Her practice emphasizes identifying strengths and clarifying values so clients can translate insight into purposeful action. Katrina works collaboratively to name barriers - both internal and external - and to build practical strategies that align behavior with what matters most.

She approaches every person with openness and respect, encouraging honest self-exploration while offering steady support through moments of uncertainty. Katrina frames change as a process that can be challenging yet deeply meaningful, and she partners with clients who are ready to take steps toward greater resilience and self-understanding.

Approaches That Guide Online Work and Growth

Katrina commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood, while Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes noticing internal experiences and committing to actions that align with personal values to build a meaningful life. She also brings client-centered listening into sessions, prioritizing the client’s perspective and strengths to shape goals and steps forward.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Katrina treats it as a collaborative exploration. She will help clients weigh which methods fit their needs, values, and goals, adapting strategies over time so the work remains practical and relevant to each person’s situation.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats allow clients to engage from different locations and to choose interaction styles that best suit their comfort and schedule, making it easier to maintain momentum between meetings.
