More about Guileine

  • 14 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW-C

Life is an individual process based on individual growth and evolution. I have 10+ years of experience as a licensed Social Worker (LCSW-C) in Maryland with clients age 3 to 54 including Military Service Members and their families, both in deployed and garrison environments. I am a trusted confidant and adviser, willing to travel life’s journey through growth and evolution with each client. I have an eclectic therapeutic approach grounded in cultural self-determination and cognitive behavioral therapy. I have a PhD in Social Work and serve as an Officer in the Maryland Army National Guard.

My expertise lies with individuals managing depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and daily life challenges. I have a passion for using aspects of the client’s culture - including music (especially hip-hop) and the arts - to enhance the therapeutic process. I have worked with clients across a number of cultures and ethnicities. I have experiences as an adjunct faculty member and training students and professionals in face-to-face and online settings. I am technologically inclined and consider the use of technology to enhance the healing process and daily living.

I welcome the opportunity to help you find creative space for independent thinking, growth, and healthy living!

I expect each client to be successful!

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I love having a therapist who not only listens to me but really makes me think. And help me focus on ways to cope with my anxiety. And helping my mindset change from it won’t change to I can make myself better.

Dr Kraft is a wonderful therapist. She listens, she is there when you need her in an emergency and she cares.

Very helpful in many ways!

Reviewed May 2022

She is a great therapist! I do well with words versus talking. It allows me to convey fully how I feel versus having to think on the spot. And she understands that which works very well for me. And she really makes you think about what is causing your mental health issues. Not the ordinary why do you feel this way. I love her approach and she is amazing!

Completely appreciate all of my Dr’s help

Reviewed January 2022

Dr. Kraft is an amazing therapist. She is empathetic, insightful, supportive and makes you feel heard and understood. I haven’t felt this comfortable with a therapist in a long time. I trust her perspective and opinion, and feel like she has really helped me grow during these past few months. She has never once been judgmental. I can’t thank her enough for her support and kindness. She’s a true gift to the social work profession and all the lives she touches.

Guileine is a great therapist. She is extremely positive and puts a great perspective onto issues and creates a better understanding for me. She provides me space and time to reflect on her questions and is extremely supportive. Simply put, she is awesome!

She is amazing! Her approach to therapy is so wonderful. She makes me sit and reflect my feelings. And helps me process everything. And makes me feel heard. And I can completely trust her. Which is very important for me.

Reviewed September 2021

I appreciate her giving perspective based on her experience. It helped a lot for me to uncover some challenges I’m dealing with. I all text her candor in identifying my self-defeating behaviors - enabling. Thanks for that Guileine.

Reviewed August 2021

Guileine is very nice and understanding! She even challenges you to step out of your comfort zone when you can and I really appreciate that.

Reviewed April 2019

Guileine is very insightful, professional, understanding and above all knowledgeable. She's not the type of counselor that's just going to lick your wounds, she's going to ask hard questions followed by great advice, recommendations, and Revelations. She doesn't give answers or solutions for you to follow because she's the counselor and she thinks that's best for you. She gives you answers and solutions that she and her client both think are fitting. Overall this woman will change your life.

Reviewed May 2018

Guileine is the third stop of my online therapy tour. After the last two I thought this format was not for me. Guileine spoke to me in a non-clinical manor with a friendly demeanor. In the past, I came across therapists who seemed to follow a script. Conversation flows very easily with Guileine and doesn't feel contrived.
