About Georgette
Georgette Esquivel-Chand is a California-licensed therapist with six years of experience. She holds LMFT and LPCC credentials in California. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem issues, and depression. Georgette works with adults facing life transitions and emotional pain.
She uses a culturally responsive perspective and pays attention to how identity and life experience shape feelings and relationships. Sessions focus on understanding what happened, identifying patterns, and building clearer ways to communicate with others. She also addresses issues linked to chronic health problems, caregiving strain, and relationship shifts.
Her clinical approaches include psychodynamic work that looks at long-standing patterns, Internal Family Systems that attends to different parts of a person, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy that teaches values-based action. In practice she mixes exploration with practical steps clients can try between sessions.
Georgette helps people work through abandonment wounds, attachment difficulties, dissociation, and challenges tied to substance use or domestic violence histories. She also supports those coping with guilt, shame, impulsivity, and communication breakdowns.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. She works from a collaborative frame where the person and therapist shape goals together. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site's booking flow.
How her approaches shape online sessions
Psychodynamic work looks at recurring life patterns and relationships to help people make sense of how past experiences affect current behavior. That approach can be useful for persistent anxiety, attachment problems, and repeated relationship struggles.Internal Family Systems treats different feelings or impulses as parts of a person. It helps people learn to listen to those parts, calm reactive responses, and make clearer choices about how they want to act in relationships and daily life.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, meaningful actions even when uncomfortable feelings are present. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and when someone wants more direction in early adulthood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to emphasize based on goals and preferences. That conversation continues as progress is made and needs evolve.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when life is hectic. Some people prefer phone check-ins when they do not want to be on camera, while others choose video to use visual cues during deeper processing. Licensed professionals can adapt pacing and tools to match a young adult's everyday routine.
