About Georgette
Georgette Esquivel-Chand is a licensed marriage and family therapist and licensed professional clinical counselor in California with six years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem struggles, and depression. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and focus on helping people manage symptoms and improve everyday functioning.
Georgette uses psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time. That work helps people notice how past relationships influence current feelings and behaviors. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients identify values and take small steps toward what matters despite uncomfortable emotions.
Internal Family Systems is part of her approach for people who want to understand conflicting parts of themselves. That method can help when feelings are confusing, or when guilt and shame get in the way of decision making. Georgette combines these approaches to address issues like abandonment, attachment concerns, communication problems, and the emotional impact of chronic illness.
Her practice emphasizes cultural responsiveness and attention to how identity and life experience affect mental health. She works with adults navigating relationship transitions, caregiver stress, substance-related problems, and recovery from domestic violence or past abuse. Georgette aims to help people build clearer communication, steadier self-regard, and practical skills to handle daily stressors.
To begin, clients use a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online work
Georgette uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and still take actions that match their values. ACT focuses on small, practical steps and can be useful for anxiety, stress, and decisions that feel stuck.She also uses Psychodynamic Therapy to explore repeating patterns and how earlier relationships shape current reactions. That approach helps if someone wants to understand why certain situations trigger strong emotions or behaviors.
Internal Family Systems is used to map different parts of the self and to reduce internal conflict. This can make feelings like guilt, shame, or anger easier to talk about and manage.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Georgette will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she will adjust the plan as sessions progress.
Confirm current session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, avoid travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists commonly use video for face-to-face conversation or phone for quicker sessions, but check which options are offered when scheduling.
