About Georgette

Georgette Esquivel-Chand is a California-based therapist who helps people dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, and low self-esteem. She focuses on listening carefully to each person's story and finding practical ways to reduce emotional pain. Her style blends thoughtful reflection with down-to-earth tools so people can feel steadier day to day.

Georgette holds both LMFT and LPCC credentials, and she brings six years of clinical experience to her work. She pays attention to how cultural background and identity shape emotional struggles. That means she meets practical problems like relationship change, chronic health issues, and caregiving strain with cultural awareness and respect.

Her approach draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck. Internal Family Systems is part of her work when someone wants to understand different parts of themselves and how those parts interact.

Sessions focus on clear, collaborative goals. Georgette helps people build better communication, manage anger and impulsivity, and recover from past hurt. She also supports those coping with addiction, dissociation, or chronic illness by combining insight with practical strategies.

She offers therapy in English and Spanish and works across many concerns including abandonment, attachment issues, and aging questions. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule appointments based on availability.

How her approaches guide online therapy

Georgette draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. ACT is useful when someone wants to reduce avoidance and take small steps toward a meaningful life.

She uses psychodynamic ideas to look for repeating patterns that affect current relationships and moods. That work helps people understand why they react a certain way and opens up options for change.

Internal Family Systems is used when clients want to map the different parts inside themselves and learn to relate to those parts with more compassion. This approach can help with inner conflict, shame, and self-criticism.

Finding the right approach is usually a joint process. Georgette will work with each person to test methods, notice what helps, and adjust the plan based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. She aims to be collaborative and practical while exploring deeper patterns.

Confirm current session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific online options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, help people access care from different locations within California, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed. Ask about session lengths and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire to match therapy to your routine.
