About Guy
Guy Sartee is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 35 years of experience. He works with people facing relationship strain, family conflict, grief, low self-esteem, career shifts, and the stress of major life changes. He aims to make sessions straightforward and focused on what matters now.
He uses a client-centered framework that keeps the person’s perspective at the center of the work. That means listening first, then shaping sessions around each person's needs and goals. He also draws on existential ideas to help people find meaning during big transitions.
Guy combines practical methods with deeper exploration. He may use elements from the Gottman Method to address communication and interaction patterns. Psychodynamic ideas can help uncover long-standing patterns linked to family of origin and attachment issues.
Over three decades of practice have included work with veterans, people facing aging and geriatric concerns, and those coping with domestic challenges. He helps people deal with abandonment, infidelity, divorce, blended family stress, and guilt or shame in everyday terms.
Sessions focus on clear goals like improving communication, managing grief, or finding a renewed sense of life purpose. Guy aims to help people build practical skills while also making space to understand deeper feelings and history.
How therapeutic styles guide online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s experience and builds sessions around what the client brings. It helps people feel heard, clarify goals, and make choices that fit their values.Existential therapy looks at questions of meaning, freedom, and responsibility when people face big life changes. This approach can help with midlife transitions, career crossroads, and grappling with loss.
The Gottman Method concentrates on practical tools for improving communication and reducing conflict in close relationships. It is useful for people who want clearer interaction patterns and concrete steps to connect more effectively.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide whether to emphasize listening and support, meaning-focused work, or skills for better communication.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm which session formats are available before booking. This profile does not specify formats, so check current options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid being on camera if that feels better. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to remote sessions while working with each person’s needs and schedule.
