Katrina Suprise , LCSW

Katrina Suprise is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California with 10 years of professional experience supporting adults through stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, relationship concerns, and issues with self-esteem and motivation. She has also worked with people who have struggled with substance use and with severe mental illness, bringing practical clinical experience to complex cases.

Katrina uses a person-centered framework that focuses on recognizing and expanding each client's existing strengths and resources to accomplish identified goals. She guides clients through clarifying their values, uncovering obstacles - including unhelpful thoughts and emotional patterns - and taking deliberate steps that align behavior with what matters most to them.

Her clinical approach blends evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) with client-centered principles, psychodynamic ideas, motivational interviewing, Imago relationship therapy, and solution-focused techniques. Sessions are tailored to fit each person's unique needs and circumstances rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.

Katrina brings an open mind and an empathetic stance to her work, shaped by both personal and professional experience. She emphasizes the importance of trust and a nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship, and she supports clients through the mixed emotions that often accompany change. By combining sincere self-exploration with actionable steps, she works alongside clients to foster growth, strengthen relationships, and build greater self-love and resilience.

Could Virtual Therapy Be a Good Fit?

Many people wonder whether working with a therapist remotely can truly help. For many common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and navigating life transitions - online therapy is comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person care.

One major benefit is flexibility. Clients can choose the format that best fits their routine and comfort level, whether that is a video call, a phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging. This versatility can make it simpler to integrate therapy into a busy life.

Licensed professionals offer a range of therapeutic approaches and can adapt their work to the needs of each person. If the match is not ideal, clients typically have the option to try a different therapist. For many people, remote therapy provides an accessible and practical way to pursue emotional well-being and personal growth.
