About Georgette
Georgette Esquivel-Chand helps people who are carrying heavy emotions. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, and low self-esteem. Georgette is a California LMFT and LPCC with six years of clinical experience and she speaks English and Spanish.
She meets each person where they are and pays attention to life experience and identity. Sessions are practical and direct. People work on clearer communication, stronger self-regard, and ways to manage intense feelings.
Background and approach
Her work draws on psychodynamic ideas that look at how past patterns shape current behavior. That helps people notice repeated relationship or coping patterns and try different choices. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and take steps that match those values.
Internal Family Systems is another part of her approach. That method helps people separate parts of themselves that feel reactive or hurt and then relate to those parts with more compassion. Together these methods offer both insight and hands-on strategies for daily life.
Georgette focuses on steady progress rather than quick fixes. She supports people through relationship transitions, chronic health challenges, grief around aging, and the emotional fallout of addiction, infidelity, or loss. Her style blends thoughtful listening with tools clients can use between sessions.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Georgette uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people name what matters most and take small steps toward those values, even when feelings are intense. Psychodynamic work helps uncover repeating patterns that show up in relationships and daily choices, giving a clearer sense of why certain reactions happen. Internal Family Systems supports people in identifying different inner parts - the reactive, the protective, the wounded - and learning to relate to them with curiosity rather than judgment.Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, adjusting the emphasis as progress unfolds. The client and therapist together review what helps and try different tools when needed.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people do deeper conversational work and observe nonverbal cues, while phone sessions can use less bandwidth and fit a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick check-ins, brief skills practice, or ongoing reflection between longer sessions. These options help people maintain continuity of care while fitting therapy into busy lives.
