Within the time-dependent Gutzwiller approximation (TDGA) applied to Holstein- and SSH-Hubbard models we study the influence of electron correlations on the phonon self-energy. For the local Holstein coupling we find that the phonon frequency renormalization gets weakened upon increasing the onsite interaction U for all momenta. In contrast, correlations can enhance the phonon frequency shift for small wave-vectors in the SSH-Hubbard model. Moreover the TDGA applied to the latter model provides a mechanism which leads to phonon frequency corrections at intermediate momenta due to the coupling with double occupancy fluctuations. Both models display a shift of the nesting-induced to a q=0 instability when the onsite interaction becomes sufficiently strong and thus establishing phase separation as a generic phenomenon of strongly correlated electron-phonon coupled systems.
