About Susan
Dr. Susan Gurvich is a licensed professional counselor with a long history supporting people through heavy, confusing life moments. She helps with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, codependency, and issues related to identity and caregiving. Her approach aims to be respectful and down-to-earth so clients feel heard from the start.
She brings 25 years of clinical experience in Texas settings to each session. She listens first, treating each person as the expert on their own life. Together with clients she sets clear, realistic goals and works on practical ways to meet them.
Her work draws from several methods that focus on values, present-moment awareness, and building useful skills. In sessions she blends acceptance-based ideas, client-centered listening, and behavioral skills to help people manage emotion and make choices that fit their life. She also uses mindfulness practices and hypnotherapy when appropriate.
Dr. Gurvich describes therapy as a collaborative process. She pays attention to the details of daily life that get in the way of change and helps clients try alternatives and new habits. Sessions are aimed at small, steady steps rather than overnight fixes.
She offers services in English and practices in Texas. People who want to begin are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Canceling a subscription is possible at any time according to the session model used.
How these approaches work in online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, asks people to name what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when feelings are hard. It can help with depression, anxiety, codependency patterns, and life transitions by focusing on action aligned with personal priorities.Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and priorities. The therapist listens without judgment and helps clients find their own solutions, which can be useful for grief, identity questions, and relationship concerns.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. It is often used when strong emotions get in the way of daily life or relationships.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and comfort with different methods, then try techniques together and adjust as they learn what helps best. This collaborative process makes room for experimentation and gradual change.
Online sessions can make therapy easier to fit into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing meetings from wherever the client already is. Some people prefer video to read expressions, while others choose phone or text when that fits their routine better. Confirm the specific session options available before booking so arrangements match your schedule and needs.
