Georgette Esquivel-Chand

Georgette Esquivel-Chand is a California-based therapist who helps people facing depression, anxiety, trauma, and low self-esteem. She speaks English and Spanish and focuses on practical steps people can use day to day. Georgette aims to make therapy feel understandable and manageable for worried parents and adults seeking support.

She blends psychodynamic ideas with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Internal Family Systems to match what each person needs. Sessions look at patterns that cause pain and also build skills for coping and communication. The work balances exploring past experiences with learning concrete ways to handle stress and strong emotions.

Georgette brings six years of clinical experience and holds the credentials LMFT and LPCC in California. She pays attention to cultural background and identity when shaping care. That cultural awareness helps her tailor support to each person’s life and values.

Clients can expect a cooperative approach where goals are set together. Georgette focuses on small, realistic changes as well as deeper emotional work. She also supports people coping with chronic illness, caregiving strain, attachment concerns, and problems around trust and infidelity.

If someone needs Spanish-language support, she can work in Spanish. For practical next steps, prospective clients select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Georgette uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts and still take steps that matter to them. ACT emphasizes values and small actions that build a meaningful life, which can be useful for anxiety and depression.

She also draws on Psychodynamic Therapy to look at recurring emotional patterns and where they came from. That kind of work helps when old hurts keep showing up in current relationships or behavior. Internal Family Systems is used to map different parts inside a person - the parts that protect, the parts that feel wounded - and to help them relate more kindly to each other.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Georgette will talk with each person about goals, needs, and preferences, and then adapt methods to fit those priorities. The aim is to try methods together and adjust if something isn’t working.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier and reduce travel time, and it can let people fit brief check-ins around work or caregiving. It also allows for longer sessions focused on deeper emotional work when needed. Ask about language options and scheduling when you start the matching process.
