About Guy

Guy Sartee is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 35 years of clinical experience. He helps people facing relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem, career shifts, and major life changes. He also supports those dealing with communication problems, attachment wounds, and family conflict.

He uses a practical, person-focused style. Sessions are aimed at clarifying what matters to the client and finding steps that fit their life. Guy combines conversation about feelings with concrete strategies for improving communication and reconnecting with purpose.

His background includes long-term clinical work in California and Ohio. That experience includes helping people through divorce and separation, blended family challenges, aging and geriatric concerns, and issues common to veterans and armed forces families. He has worked with many people facing guilt, shame, or past trauma rooted in family of origin dynamics.

Guy draws on several therapeutic methods to shape the work. He incorporates client-centered listening, solution-focused planning, psychodynamic reflection, existential questions about meaning, and elements of the Gottman Method for relationship skills. Together these tools are used to help clients make clearer choices and better day-to-day decisions.

He asks straightforward questions and helps people set manageable goals. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes. To begin, prospective clients follow the site’s start process and schedule sessions based on availability.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's perspective and priorities. The therapist listens deeply and reflects what matters to the person, which helps people clarify goals and feel heard. This approach is useful for self esteem, relationship concerns, and major life decisions.

The Gottman Method offers concrete communication tools and exercises for couples. It emphasizes specific skills like turning toward each other, managing conflict, and rebuilding trust. Those techniques are practical for improving day-to-day interactions and resolving recurring fights.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past. Together they decide which combination of methods to try and adjust that plan as progress is made.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit work into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed. Some people prefer doing skill practice and communication exercises from home, while others use remote sessions for talking through grief or planning life changes. Ask about specific session formats when you start the process to match the logistics to your needs.
