About Guy
Guy Sartee is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people with relationship strain, family conflict, grief, self-esteem, career questions, and big life changes. He brings 35 years of practice to sessions and speaks English.
Background and approach
He works from Ohio and has experience with military-related issues and aging concerns. His style is calm and straightforward.
He listens first, then helps people name what matters and set small goals. Sessions often focus on clearer communication, repairing attachment wounds, and practical steps to manage shame or guilt.
Guy draws on several approaches to match what each person needs. He uses the Gottman Method ideas for rebuilding interaction patterns, client-centered listening to follow a person’s pace, and psychodynamic thought to look at recurring patterns from the past.
Solution-focused work helps when clients want short-term, concrete change. Clients can expect a mix of talking, reflection, and action plans.
Guy aims to make therapy feel useful from the start, with exercises people can try between sessions. He also brings specific experience with blended family issues, divorce and separation, and food-related concerns.
Over his career he has supported people through midlife transitions, bereavement, and career shifts. His approach is practical and respectful, helping people find direction and repair relationships one step at a time.
Approaches and how online therapy works
Guy commonly uses the Gottman Method ideas to examine communication patterns and rebuild how people interact. That approach focuses on practical skills for handling conflict and increasing connection in everyday moments. He also uses client-centered therapy, which means he listens carefully and follows the client’s pace so goals come from the person rather than the therapist.Finding the right approach is part of the process. He will work with each client to figure out which methods fit their needs and goals. That collaboration helps shape session work and any at-home exercises or practice tasks.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat provides a shorter check-in option, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These formats help people fit therapy into busy schedules and continue work when in-person visits aren’t possible.
