About Georgette
Georgette Esquivel-Chand is a California dually licensed therapist holding both Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) credentials. She has six years of clinical experience helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem struggles, and depression.
She frames her work around each person's life and identity. She pays attention to cultural background and how lived experience shapes feelings and relationships. Georgette helps people talk through communication problems, attachment concerns, and the difficulties that follow separation or infidelity.
Her clinical approach draws on psychodynamic ideas alongside Internal Family Systems and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. That means sessions mix exploring past patterns with practical steps to notice values and change behavior. Conversations can include looking at how early relationships influence current responses and practicing new ways to respond to strong emotions.
She also supports people facing chronic illness or caregiving strain, substance use issues, dissociation, and challenges linked to aging. Georgette aims to help clients build clearer self-understanding and develop concrete tools for managing distress and impulsivity.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session that clarifies goals and next steps. Georgette works collaboratively to identify what matters most to each person, including questions about life purpose and direction.
How her approaches translate to online work
Georgette uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people get clearer about what matters to them and to practice small actions that reflect those values. ACT is practical and helpful for anxiety, depression, and situations where someone feels stuck or directionless.She also draws on Psychodynamic Therapy to look at patterns that began earlier in life and that still influence current reactions. This approach helps when recurring conflicts or old wounds keep reappearing in relationships and choices. Internal Family Systems shows up as a way to notice different parts of yourself - for example, protective parts or vulnerable parts - and to learn how those parts can relate differently to one another.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Georgette will collaborate with each person to decide which methods make the most sense based on goals, preferences, and how someone responds in early sessions. That collaborative process helps shape practical steps and follow-up between meetings.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove the need to be on camera for every meeting. Licensed professionals commonly adapt exercises used in ACT, psychodynamic reflection, and IFS to work over distance, and she will help decide what works best for a given concern.
