About Georgette
Georgette Esquivel-Chand welcomes adults who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or low self-worth. She is a licensed marriage and family therapist and a licensed professional clinical counselor in California, and she speaks English and Spanish. Georgette aims to make therapy straightforward and relatable so people can start feeling steadier in daily life.
She focuses on helping people cope with trauma, anger, and issues that affect self-esteem. Georgette pays attention to how past relationships and identity shape current patterns.
How Georgette works
In sessions she works to help people notice what matters to them and take small, manageable steps toward those values. Her approach blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with psychodynamic ideas and Internal Family Systems. That mix lets her address present symptoms and the deeper patterns behind them.
She uses conversation to clarify feelings, identify repeating dynamics, and build practical tools for everyday situations. Georgette also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment struggles, chronic health concerns, caregiving stress, substance issues, communication problems, dissociation, and relationship transitions. She adapts sessions to each person’s situation and goals while keeping the work focused and practical.
With six years of clinical experience, she draws on both short-term strategies and longer-term reflection. Georgette aims to help people feel more grounded, improve how they relate to themselves and others, and move toward clearer goals.

Online support options
Therapy approaches that translate well online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take action toward those values while tolerating hard emotions. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and ongoing stress by focusing on small practical steps. Psychodynamic therapy looks at patterns that developed over time and how those patterns show up now; it can help when recurring relationship styles or past events keep affecting daily life. Internal Family Systems treats parts of a person’s inner experience as separate voices or roles, and it helps people understand and soothe those parts to reduce inner conflict.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Georgette will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to emphasize based on current concerns, personal goals, and what feels most comfortable. That collaborative process can shift as needs change over time.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit different schedules and preferences. Video calls are good for a full session with face-to-face interaction, phone work can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat lets people check in quickly, and text messaging supports brief reflections or ongoing check-ins between sessions. These options aim to make consistent care easier to maintain while matching practical needs.
