Background and approach
Surilla draws on several therapy approaches to match what a person needs. She commonly uses attachment-focused ideas to look at patterns in close relationships. Cognitive behavioral techniques help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Emotion-focused and skills-based methods are used when emotions feel overwhelming or hard to manage. Her background includes helping people cope with trauma, abuse, caregiver stress, and end-of-life concerns. She also assists with issues such as codependency, communication problems, and life changes like divorce or blended family adjustments.
These topics are addressed with practical strategies and emotional support. Surilla emphasizes collaboration. She invites people to shape the work, ask questions, and try approaches that fit their life.
The goal is steady progress and clearer ways to handle difficult moments moving forward.

04Online support
Approach-driven online therapy for relationship and emotion work
Surilla commonly blends attachment-based work and cognitive behavioral techniques in online sessions. Attachment-based therapy looks at how past relationship patterns shape current connections and helps people shift those patterns. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression.She frames the choice of approach as a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit your situation. You and the therapist decide together what to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care practical. Video calls work well for in-depth conversations and reading nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, homework discussions, or ongoing support between longer appointments. These options help people fit therapy into busy or changing schedules.
