About Katrina
Katrina Suprise is a licensed clinical social worker in California with ten years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, parenting, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Katrina draws on practical tools to help people clarify goals and take action.
She places plain, direct conversation at the center of sessions so parents can address immediate problems. Katrina uses a mix of therapy methods to match each person’s needs. She helps clients identify personal values and spot the thoughts and behaviors that get in the way.
Background and approach
Sessions often include goal-setting, skill practice, and steady follow-up. The tone is supportive and straightforward rather than technical. Her work emphasizes strengths people already have.
Katrina helps clients notice resources they can build on, then creates small steps toward change. She also addresses hard feelings like guilt, shame, and isolation in a calm manner. Katrina adapts her approach when life events create new challenges.
She can guide people through divorce and separation, attachment or abandonment concerns, and shifts in mood or life purpose. Conversations are aimed at making daily life more manageable. Her background includes approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Imago Relationship Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing.
Katrina aims to be open-minded and practical in session. She works in English and is based in California.
Therapeutic approaches and online options
Katrina commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. ACT focuses on identifying personal values and taking meaningful action even when feelings are difficult. It helps people who want to live by what matters to them rather than avoid hard emotions. CBT looks at patterns of thinking that lead to distress and teaches practical skills to change those patterns, which is useful for anxiety, low mood, and self-critical thoughts.She treats choice of approach as a collaborative process. Katrina will talk with a client about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. Together they check progress and adjust what they’re doing until the work feels useful and doable.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These options let people fit therapy into busy schedules and keep work moving forward between appointments. Whether a parent needs quick skill practice by message or a longer conversation by video, the mix of formats supports different needs and routines.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
