About Guilaine
Guilaine Bell is a licensed counselor based in Florida who helps people manage strong emotions and everyday stress. She uses straightforward tools to support those dealing with anxiety, anger, grief, relationship strains, parenting stress, and life changes. Guilaine works in English and Haitian Creole and draws on 16 years of clinical experience as a mental health counselor.
Her sessions focus on emotional regulation and practical coping skills. Guilaine teaches ways to notice thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed by them.
Background and approach
She often uses breathing and mindfulness practices alongside clear steps for changing unhelpful thinking and behavior. Guilaine blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with cognitive behavioral techniques. That means clients learn values-based goals and concrete behavior changes.
She also uses client-centered listening to help people feel heard while they work through painful events and trauma. When relationship issues come up, Guilaine draws on Gottman Method ideas to improve communication and reduce conflict. She helps people identify patterns that lead to anger, control struggles, or isolation and then practice different ways of responding.
Many clients seek her help for career stress, compassion fatigue, or rebuilding self-esteem after loss or separation. Sessions are practical, paced to the person, and aimed at building skills that can be used between meetings. To begin, she asks about current concerns and what the client would like to change.
From there she and the client set simple goals and choose approaches that fit that person’s life and schedule.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Guilaine commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values while making room for difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying different behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood.She also brings a client-centered approach that emphasizes listening and responding to each person’s experience. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Guilaine will work with the client to set goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust plans over time based on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and practicing communication skills. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let clients send updates or get brief support between sessions. These options make scheduling more flexible and help people fit therapy into busy lives.
