Georgette Esquivel-Chand, LMFT, LPCC

Georgette Esquivel-Chand is a licensed marriage and family therapist and licensed professional clinical counselor based in California. She helps people who are struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, anger, and low self-esteem. She aims to make therapy straightforward and practical for those feeling stuck during life transitions, including midlife concerns.

Georgette uses a culturally responsive perspective to honor each person's background and identity. Sessions focus on clear goals such as building self-compassion, improving communication, and managing intense emotions. She draws on talk-based and experiential methods to help people process past wounds and strengthen coping skills.

Her work blends reflective psychodynamic ideas with parts-oriented approaches to understand how inner conflicts affect daily life. That combination is used to map patterns, notice habitual responses, and try new ways of relating to oneself and others. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques to identify values and take manageable steps toward them.

Over six years of clinical practice inform her approach to complex issues like chronic health challenges, grief from separation, addiction, and caregiver stress. Georgette frames therapy as a collaborative process where people learn practical steps and emotional insight. She supports gradual change rather than quick fixes.

Sessions are conducted in English and Spanish. Prospective clients in California can follow the platform's intake flow to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How her approaches translate to online work

Georgette uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters most and take small, value-driven steps. ACT is practical for anxiety, depression, and getting unstuck during life transitions.

She also draws on Psychodynamic Therapy to look at recurring patterns and how past relationships shape present behavior. That work can help when someone wants to understand long-standing reactions or repeating difficulties.

Internal Family Systems is used to identify and dialogue with different parts of a person, such as an anxious part or a self-critical part. This approach helps people notice internal conflicts and build more self-compassion.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means adapting techniques over time based on what helps most.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also make it simpler to maintain continuity of care through transitions and health challenges.
