About Dianne
Dianne Marino-Surovcik is a Pennsylvania psychologist with 23 years of experience. She focuses on relationship concerns, self-esteem struggles, depression, and helping people adapt to major life changes. She speaks English and accepts international clients.
She helps people untangle communication problems and cope with divorce or separation. She also supports those dealing with guilt, shame, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and social anxiety. Sessions aim to identify practical steps clients can try between meetings.
How Dianne works
Her approach centers on building an open, nonjudgmental space where people can say what they truly think and feel. Dianne guides conversations so clients can notice patterns, try new responses, and regain confidence. She emphasizes small, doable changes rather than overnight fixes.
Across her career she has worked in varied settings and with many concerns related to mood and relationships. That breadth helps her match strategies to a person’s situation instead of using one fixed method. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques when they fit the goals at hand.
People who choose her can expect a collaborative process that moves at a comfortable pace. The focus is on clear communication, practical coping skills, and rebuilding confidence after hard experiences.

Evidence-based techniques and online care
Two common evidence-based approaches she uses involve clear, structured work and helping people change unhelpful patterns. One approach focuses on identifying and changing thinking and behavior patterns that keep depression or anxiety active; it helps with low mood, panic attacks, and social anxiety. Another approach emphasizes skills for managing distress and improving communication during stressful moments; it can be useful for relationship problems, post-traumatic stress, and coping with life transitions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals, preferences, and daily life, then recommend methods that fit. Together they review what helps and adjust the plan as needed so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make attendance easier. Video works well for full conversations, phone can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat suit quick check-ins or brief support between appointments. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping progress moving forward.
