Guy Sartee, LMFT, LIMFT

Guy Sartee is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 35 years of experience. He helps people with relationship strain, family problems, grief, self-esteem, career questions, and major life changes. He works with individual adults and couples to sort through practical issues and strong emotions.

He uses a blend of approaches to match a person's needs. Sessions focus on clear communication skills, understanding repeating patterns from family history, and setting small steps toward change. He also addresses attachment wounds, abandonment issues, and the effects of military service when those come up.

Guy draws on decades of counseling work in California and Ohio. His style is straightforward and patient. He encourages people to name what matters, try new behaviors, and notice what does or does not help over time.

In sessions he mixes short-term problem solving with deeper reflection about values and life purpose. The Gottman Method tools are used for relationship work alongside client-centered listening and psychodynamic ideas about how the past shapes present reactions. Solution-focused techniques help set achievable goals.

People seeking help with divorce, blended family tensions, aging issues, or recovery from betrayal will find a practical, experienced perspective. He asks questions, offers feedback, and helps people practice new ways of relating and coping between meetings.

Approaches that translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the person’s lead. It helps people feel heard and discover what matters to them, which is useful for relationship or life-purpose concerns.

Existential Therapy focuses on questions about meaning, choice, and responsibility. It is helpful when someone faces midlife shifts, career crossroads, or major losses and wants to reassess priorities.

The therapist treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. He will talk with clients about goals and preferences, then recommend a mix of methods to try. Decisions about techniques and pacing are reviewed together as progress is made.

Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking, since the biography does not specify formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, offer shorter check-ins when time is limited, or avoid travel time. It can also allow consistent weekly work when schedules or distances make in-person visits difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt conversation-based methods, relationship exercises, and goal-focused tasks to remote sessions, depending on the format you choose.
