About Guilaine
Guilaine Bell is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 16 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, coping with life changes, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, parenting, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, and compassion fatigue. She works with people who want practical steps for managing feelings and daily demands.
Guilaine uses straightforward, skills-based work to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with acceptance and mindfulness strategies to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning. Sessions often include exercises to change patterns, try new responses, and practice breathing or grounding skills.
She also draws on client-centered techniques to listen and reflect what matters most to each person. For relationship concerns she may incorporate elements of the Gottman Method to address communication problems and rebuild trust. Her work covers areas like panic attacks, social anxiety, control issues, and forgiveness in clear, stepwise ways.
Guilaine speaks English and Haitian Creole. Her practice supports people dealing with divorce and separation, isolation and loneliness, life purpose questions, and women's issues. She describes therapy as a place to learn concrete coping tools, set small goals, and test new behaviors between sessions.

How her approaches translate to online work
Guilaine commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside client-centered listening. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. ACT emphasizes noticing thoughts and values-based action, helping people move toward what matters despite hard feelings. Client-centered methods prioritize clear listening and reflection so the person’s goals shape the work.Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. Guilaine will discuss your goals and preferences, try practical techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. This collaborative stance makes it easier to switch emphasis if one way of working seems more useful over time.
Confirm available session formats before booking so you know how sessions are delivered. Online work can make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also support using screen-shared worksheets, guided breathing, and in-the-moment skill practice during a session. If you want to know which formats she currently offers, please check the session options on the booking flow before you schedule.
