Guy Sartee

Guy Sartee is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people facing relationship strain, family conflict, grief, and changes in self-esteem. He supports those coping with life transitions, career questions, and eating and food-related issues. He brings a calm, straightforward manner and decades of experience to sessions.

Over 35 years of practice have shaped how he works. He listens first, then helps clients name the patterns that cause pain. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings and clearer ways to talk with partners or family members.

Guy uses a mix of conversation styles to meet each person's needs. He draws on client-centered methods to follow what matters most to the person in the room. He also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at how past relationships influence current feelings and behavior.

For couples or relationship concerns he incorporates elements of the Gottman Method to improve communication and reduce repeating conflicts. Solution-focused techniques are woven in to set small, measurable goals and to track progress over time.

Clients meet a therapist who aims to be direct but compassionate. He helps people work through shame, guilt, abandonment worries, and questions about life purpose. He also has experience with veteran issues, aging and geriatric topics, and the stresses that come with blended families and divorce.

Guy is licensed in California and Ohio as an LMFT and LIMFT and practices from Ohio. Sessions are conducted in English. To begin, follow the site process to match and schedule a first appointment.

Approaches used in online sessions and what they do

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters to the client. The therapist mirrors concerns, helps people clarify their goals, and supports decisions they already feel are important. It is useful for building self-esteem and working through personal doubts.

Existential Therapy helps people name big life questions and find meaning when routines shift. It can be helpful for those facing midlife changes, grief, or questions about life purpose. The work is conversational and aimed at making values clearer.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods based on their needs, goals, and comfort. That process often starts with a few sessions to see what feels most helpful.

For practical matters, confirm which session types are offered before booking since formats are not specified in the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. It can also make it simpler to keep continuity during life changes while the therapist and client test what methods and rhythms work best.
