About Guerlene

Guerlene Warden is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who centers her work on helping people find meaning and practical ways forward. She brings nine years of experience in the mental health field, including direct therapeutic work with depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, parenting stress, and ADHD. Guerlene speaks English and accepts international clients.

Her approach draws on Existential ideas alongside client-centered listening and cognitive-behavioral techniques. Sessions focus on understanding what matters most to the individual and on small, doable steps that reduce distress.

Background and approach

She uses emotion-focused and relationship tools when communication and intimacy are at the heart of the concern. Guerlene has a background working with teens in school settings and has supported people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. Much of her clinical time has involved helping adolescents manage panic, anxiety, and low mood, while also addressing family and parenting questions.

She combines practical strategies with attention to values and meaning. In sessions she aims for a warm, interactive tone. Conversations are nonjudgmental and respectful.

The work is collaborative - she listens first, then offers options that fit each person's goals. People come to her for help with stress, grief, addictions, self-esteem, career transitions, and relationship communication. She also addresses concerns such as guilt, forgiveness, isolation, and building self-love.

Therapy is shaped around the issues you bring and the changes you want to make.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Existential Therapy helps people look at meaning, choice, and how life feels in the present. It encourages reflection about values and helps with big questions that come up during stress, grief, and life transitions.

Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and empathy. The therapist offers acceptance and reflection so clients can name their own goals and move at their own pace, which is useful for building self-esteem and working through shame or guilt.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It offers concrete tools for anxiety, panic, depression, and eating-related concerns that can be practiced between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and will recommend techniques that fit. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Online therapy lets people use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging depending on what fits their life. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be used for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to keep momentum while working on change.
