Dr. Gilberte Bastien, GA Psychologist PSY004074

Dr. Gilberte Bastien uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to guide people through stressful and painful life moments. She is a Georgia-licensed psychologist with 12 years of experience. Dr. Bastien speaks English and Haitian Creole and focuses on helping people facing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and relationship concerns.

She approaches work with the idea that each person knows their story best. Sessions emphasize identifying values, noticing what gets in the way, and taking small practical steps toward a calmer life. The work is hands-on and goal-oriented, with ideas you can try between meetings.

Dr. Bastien also supports people dealing with chronic pain, illness, or disability and those navigating immigration-related stress. She pays attention to how culture and experiences of prejudice shape challenges and choices.

People come to her for help after loss, during perinatal transitions, or when past trauma keeps showing up. She helps clients sort symptoms and find meaningful next steps rather than offering quick fixes.

Her practice treats relationship concerns as part of individual therapy, helping clients look at patterns, communication, and boundaries. To begin, people choose the continue button on this profile, fill a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a session based on availability.

How ACT and online work together

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small, practical steps toward those values. ACT helps with anxiety, depression, grief, and persistent stress by teaching ways to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck by them.

In sessions the therapist helps you identify what you care about, notice patterns that pull you away from those values, and practice actions that match your goals. This approach also supports people coping with chronic illness, trauma, and identity-related stress by building flexible ways to respond to hard experiences.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will listen to your concerns, discuss how ACT might fit, and adapt techniques to your goals and preferences. You will work together to pick exercises and check-ins that feel useful for your life.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm available session formats before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find remote sessions help them keep continuity between appointments and practice new skills in real life.
