About Guerlene
Guerlene Warden is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who focuses on practical, down-to-earth help for people feeling stuck. She draws on nine years in the mental health field to guide conversations about stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and relationship struggles. The tone is warm and straightforward, with an emphasis on respect and listening.
Guerlene uses person-focused conversation to help people clarify what matters to them. She brings Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools to spot patterns that keep problems going.
Background and approach
She also uses Emotionally-Focused ideas to help people name and shift painful feelings in relationships. Sessions tend to be interactive and collaborative. Clients can expect a mix of talk, problem-solving, and steps to try between meetings.
Guerlene aims to keep language simple and the work practical so parents and busy adults can use it right away. Her background includes work in school settings and time supporting teens with depression, anxiety, and panic. She has also supported people coping with trauma, grief, and addiction-related concerns.
This experience informs an approach that balances empathy with clear techniques. Guerlene is based in Missouri and holds MO LMFT credentials. She works with issues such as parenting concerns, communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation or loneliness, self-love, career challenges, and coping with life changes.
Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Guerlene draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on the person in front of her, listening closely and following the client’s concerns to set the agenda. This approach helps people feel heard and builds a collaborative working plan.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and introduce simple, testable changes. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related focus and routine challenges, and stress management. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is used when relationship patterns and strong feelings get in the way; it helps people name emotions and try new ways of interacting.
Choosing the right method is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options, try techniques together, and adjust the approach based on the client’s goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps find what fits each person best.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for deeper conversations and exercises that benefit from seeing each other. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick updates, brief coaching, or checking progress between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and different time zones.
