Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being ruled by them. It focuses on what matters most to you and on taking small actions toward those values.Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for regulating intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication. It is useful when anger, anxiety, or mood swings make daily life harder.
Client-Centered Therapy centers on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client’s priorities lead the work. The therapist listens closely and helps you shape goals and steps that feel doable.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dr. Gurvich will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She often blends different techniques and checks in regularly to see what is working and what should change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is helpful for reading facial expressions and body language. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and messaging let you share thoughts in writing and fit brief touchpoints into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while juggling work, caregiving, or travel.
