About Georgette

Georgette Esquivel-Chand is a California LMFT and LPCC with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem concerns, and depression. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.

She approaches difficult emotions by listening for the patterns that keep them going. Georgette helps people notice triggers and reactions, and then practices practical steps to respond differently. That can mean learning new ways to describe feelings, trying small behavioral changes, or practicing techniques that reduce overwhelming reactions in the moment.

Her work brings together psychodynamic ideas and parts-based methods. That combination looks at how past experiences shape present responses while also identifying inner parts that hold strong feelings. Clients who struggle with persistent anger, shame, or guilt may find this useful for understanding what fuels those emotions.

Georgette also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy tools to clarify values and take workable actions toward them. This helps when frustration or resentment gets in the way of daily life or relationships. She pays attention to cultural background and life context when suggesting changes.

People can expect a straightforward, collaborative approach. The focus is on making small, doable changes and building clearer communication. To start, readers should confirm current session formats and scheduling details before booking.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Georgette uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify what matters to them and take small steps aligned with those values. ACT is practical for people who want to reduce reactive behavior and live more consistently with their goals.

She also draws on Psychodynamic Therapy to look at how past relationships and experiences shape current emotional responses. That approach helps when anger or resentment feels tied to older wounds or repeating patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Georgette will collaborate with each person to see which combination of methods fits their needs and goals. She discusses options and adjusts the approach as sessions progress so the plan stays relevant and doable.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time. Online work can make scheduling easier around jobs or caregiving, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid the need to be on camera for every meeting. Confirm the specific session formats available before booking so arrangements match daily routines.
