About Susan
Dr. Susan Gurvich is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people manage stress and anxiety. She brings 25 years of experience to sessions and focuses on practical ways to reduce overwhelm and build coping skills.
Her manner is warm and respectful, and she aims to learn about each person’s life before suggesting next steps. Clients can expect straightforward conversation and tools they can use between sessions.
Background and approach
Dr. Gurvich leans on mindfulness and acceptance skills to help with worry and mood. She also uses strategies from dialectical behavior approaches to help with strong emotions and relationship difficulties.
Her work includes supporting people facing grief, trauma and abuse, caregiving strain, and identity concerns related to LGBT and gender issues. She also addresses concerns such as self-esteem, career stress, chronic illness, and feeling isolated or overwhelmed by life changes. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging so people can pick what fits their schedule.
Messaging is checked at least once per day. Therapy uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and fees vary by location and therapist availability. Dr.
Gurvich describes therapy as a collaborative process. She helps clients set realistic goals, try alternatives, and notice patterns that get in the way. The focus is on practiceable steps rather than on jargon or putting pressure on quick fixes.
How mindfulness and skills work in online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match your values. It helps people who get stuck in worry or avoidance to take small, meaningful steps toward what matters. Mindfulness Therapy trains simple attention skills and breathing practices to lower reactivity and reduce the grip of anxious thoughts. These techniques are often used to calm the body and clear mental clutter. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotion, improving communication, and tolerating distress without making things worse. It is practical for relationship strain and sudden mood shifts.Finding the right approach usually happens together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that seem useful, and adjust based on what helps. That collaborative process makes it easier to settle on tools that feel natural and doable in everyday life.
Online sessions can be done by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different schedules. Video calls let the therapist and client read each other’s expressions, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or messaging can support quick check-ins, brief skill practice, or follow-up between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
