Katrina Suprise, LCSW

Katrina Suprise is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, parenting challenges, and difficulties in romantic relationships, and has experience supporting people with substance use concerns and severe mental illness.

Katrina uses a person-centered stance that helps people discover and strengthen their own resources. She emphasizes clarifying values, spotting obstacles - whether thoughts, emotions, or life circumstances - and taking steps that align daily behavior with what matters most. Her goal is to help clients identify practical pathways toward the personal goals they set for themselves.

Her clinical approach is integrative, drawing on cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment principles, motivational interviewing, and humanistic and psychodynamic ideas when appropriate. Katrina tailors treatment to each individual, adjusting methods to fit unique needs and circumstances rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan. She approaches differences with openness and respect and aims to build a trusting space where honest exploration can occur.

Katrina recognizes that change often brings both hope and fear, and she frames the therapeutic process as a collaborative journey. She supports clients through the hard work of self-examination and committed action, offering guidance and encouragement as they pursue growth, healing, and clearer life direction.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Katrina integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into her work, helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking meaningful action in spite of internal resistance. This approach can be useful for anxiety, low motivation, and life transitions.

She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and the client-therapist relationship as a foundation for growth. This style supports people who want a collaborative, respectful space to explore self-esteem, attachment concerns, and relationship challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Katrina works together with each person to determine what methods fit their goals, preferences, and circumstances. She adapts strategies over time so therapy remains practical and relevant.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care while balancing work, family, or other commitments, and they allow licensed professionals to offer focused, goal-oriented support across a range of emotional and life challenges.
