Background and approach
Guilaine brings 16 years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor - LCMHC and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor - LMHC. She draws on several approaches to tailor care, including acceptance-based work, cognitive strategies, mindfulness, and relationship-focused techniques. People who value a warm, collaborative style will find sessions that emphasize listening and practical skills.
Guilaine often helps clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns, practice new behaviors, and build habits that reduce overwhelm and improve emotional regulation. She offers services in English and Haitian Creole and works with concerns such as panic attacks, social anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, and compassion fatigue.
The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes, with attention to realistic coping methods people can use between sessions.
How her approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then take actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for anxiety, panic, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks for patterns of thinking that feed worry or avoidance and teaches concrete strategies to change those patterns and behaviors. It is often used for panic, social anxiety, and low self-esteem. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and build steadier emotion regulation over time.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Guilaine will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that fit who they are and what they need. Over the first few sessions she will adjust techniques so the plan feels practical and doable for daily life.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited travel options. Video calls let for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth is low or someone prefers not to be on camera, and live chat or text-based messaging can support brief check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options help make consistent care easier to fit into a week.
