About Guerlene

Guerlene Warden is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who integrates humanistic warmth with evidence-based methods to support clients facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, depression, and ADHD.

Background and approach

With nine years of professional experience in the mental health field, she draws on approaches such as Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Existential Therapy, and the Gottman Method to tailor care to each person’s circumstances.

Guerlene’s work has often centered on adolescents and teens, including time spent in school settings, where she addressed depression, anxiety, and panic disorder. She has also supported people coping with physical trauma, emotional abuse, parenting challenges, addictions, eating concerns, bipolar mood issues, and intimacy-related or communication problems.

Her practice emphasizes respect, compassion, and a nonjudgmental stance while incorporating therapeutic tools suited to individual goals. Clients can expect an interactive, collaborative process that honors personal stories and strengths.

Guerlene values helping clients work through feelings of isolation, guilt, shame, and low self-esteem while assisting with practical coping strategies for life changes, career concerns, and improving relationships.

Online approaches that fit your needs

Guerlene commonly blends Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients build insight and practical skills. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person’s perspective and offering empathic support so individuals can explore goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy teaches concrete tools for identifying unhelpful thoughts and shifting behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and stress management.

She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy when relationship patterns and attachment needs are central concerns, guiding partners or individuals to recognize emotional responses and create stronger connections. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process - the therapist works with clients to assess needs, try methods, and adjust strategies over time so treatment aligns with their goals and preferences.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, enabling consistent access without geographic limits. These formats make scheduling easier for busy lives, allow follow-up between sessions, and let clients choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working with licensed professionals.
