About Surilla
Surilla Lawrence is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan who centers her work on attachment and relationship patterns. She brings seven years of clinical experience and a calm, straightforward style to conversations about stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and relationship concerns. She listens first and then tailors sessions to each person's needs.
Surilla uses clear, practical steps so clients know what to try between sessions. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and steady support as people work toward clearer connections and better emotional balance.
Background and approach
Her approach draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonds shape current reactions and relationships. She also uses Client-Centered methods to follow the client's lead and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. These methods are used to address mood concerns, coping with life changes, and intimacy-related issues.
Surilla has helped people manage addictions, parenting stress, compassion fatigue, and workplace pressure. She also supports those facing serious life events such as cancer, hospice and end-of-life caregiving, and loss. Her background includes work with people dealing with abandonment, codependency, communication problems, and blended family issues.
Sessions focus on practical tools and clearer communication. Surilla aims to empower clients to make small, sustainable changes. The goal is better daily functioning and more meaningful relationships.

Online support
How attachment work and practical therapy fit online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current bonds and reactions. Online sessions let a therapist and client talk about these patterns and practice new ways of relating in real time. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following the client's lead, giving space for what matters most, and building trust through empathic listening.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Surilla will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest methods that suit your situation. Together you can try different techniques and adjust the plan based on what helps you feel safer, more connected, and more able to manage daily stressors.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone can work when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging can fit short updates, brief coping skills practice, or clients who prefer writing over speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or medical schedules and to continue care when travel or logistics would otherwise interrupt progress.
