About Susan
Dr. Susan Gurvich greets readers with a straightforward, caring approach. She is an LPC with 25 years of experience and helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and relationship concerns.
Her tone is warm and practical, aimed at people who want clear help they can use day to day. She sees each person as the expert on their own life and starts by listening. Sessions focus on understanding current struggles and finding actions that fit the client’s life.
Background and approach
Practical skills and real-world tools are emphasized over jargon and long theory talks. Her background spans hospitals and outpatient settings across many kinds of challenges. Over the years she has worked with people dealing with trauma, grief, caregiving strain, gender and LGBT issues, chronic illness, and identity questions.
This breadth gives her many ways to approach a problem when one path isn’t working. Dr. Gurvich uses several recognizable approaches in session.
She draws on acceptance-based methods, client-centered conversation, mindfulness, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to help manage strong emotions. She may also use hypnotherapy when it fits a client’s goals. People can expect a collaborative style.
Together they set goals and try concrete steps between sessions. Dr. Gurvich also offers flexible remote formats so clients can keep progress even when life gets busy.
How therapeutic approaches shape remote care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT helps people notice hard thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes choosing actions that fit personal values, which can help with depression, anxiety, and life transitions.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space. This approach helps people feel heard and better understand their own goals and choices.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT provides clear skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication. It can be useful for anger, relationship struggles, and mood swings.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That choice can change over time as progress is made or new challenges appear.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets you read facial expressions and nonverbal cues, phone calls use less bandwidth, live chat can be a quicker check-in, and messaging supports short updates between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum even when life gets complicated.
