About Guilaine
Guilaine Bell helps people who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck. She welcomes straightforward conversations about stress, relationships, parenting strain, grief, trauma, and major life changes. Guilaine is a licensed clinician in Florida with 16 years of experience as a mental health counselor - LCMHC and LMHC.
Guilaine uses approaches that focus on the person in front of her. She leans on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take small steps toward what matters.
How Guilaine works
She blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and Client-Centered techniques to make sessions feel respectful and collaborative. Sessions are practical and down-to-earth. Guilaine teaches breathing and mindfulness tools to reduce panic and emotional flooding.
She also works on communication skills and conflict habits that often hurt relationships and parenting. Many people come for help with anger, shame, isolation, or career stress. Others seek support after divorce, loss, or when patterns of control and guilt get in the way of daily life.
Guilaine focuses on useful skills you can try between sessions. She speaks English and Haitian Creole. Her practice is based in Florida, and she matches her approach to each person’s needs and background.
The goal is clearer thinking, steadier emotions, and better choices that fit your life.

How Guilaine’s approaches work online
Guilaine often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify what matters to them, and take small actions toward those values. This approach can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking and behavior patterns that maintain panic, social anxiety, or low self-esteem, and then practices new responses together in sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Guilaine treats this as a collaborative process and will adjust methods based on each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Together they set practical goals and test what helps in day-to-day life.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper interaction. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers voice only. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, written reflections, or people who communicate better in writing. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week while continuing the same therapeutic focus and skills practice offered in person.
