About Guy
Guy Sartee is a licensed marriage and family therapist. He holds LMFT credentials in California and LIMFT in Ohio and has practiced for 35 years. He focuses on relationship and family concerns, grief, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and career questions.
He helps people sort through communication problems, attachment wounds, and the practical strains that come with divorce, separation, or blended households. He also supports those facing aging or veteran-related issues. Sessions look at what is happening now and the patterns that keep repeating.
Guy uses several ways of working rather than a single formula. He draws on client-centered listening to help people name what matters. He uses solution-focused steps to try concrete changes between sessions. He also brings ideas from psychodynamic and existential perspectives to make sense of deeper patterns.
Conversations are direct and focused on useful outcomes. He talks through relationship behaviors, guilt and shame, and how midlife or career shifts affect daily life. Practical communication skills and clarity about roles in blended family settings are common topics.
People contact him when they need steady experience and long-term perspective. His background in multiple states gives him a broad view of how life transitions play out. Prospective clients are asked to confirm session formats and scheduling when they reach out.
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says. Online sessions can use that listening to clarify values, goals, and immediate concerns. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, practical steps a person can try between sessions to change interactions or coping; it is often goal-directed and action oriented. The Gottman Method concentrates on communication patterns and skills that affect close relationships and can be used to address recurring conflicts and trust issues.Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then try approaches that fit the client’s situation. That collaborative process allows adjustments if something feels unhelpful or requires a different emphasis.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekday or evening routine, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Phone or video sessions may be chosen for reasons like lower bandwidth needs, less time in transit, or a quicker way to keep momentum between in-person commitments.
