About Gina
Her approach is humanistic and client-centered, which means sessions focus on the person rather than labels. She listens for what matters to each client and responds with empathy. Gina uses mindfulness and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice patterns and try new ways of coping.
Gina often works with anxiety and depression and with life transitions such as divorce, loss, or career change. She also supports people dealing with grief, hospice and end-of-life counseling issues, caregiver stress, parenting concerns, and substance problems. When needed she brings in skills from dialectical behavior therapy and emotionally focused approaches to help manage strong emotions and repair relationships.
Her work includes attention to self-esteem, sleep and eating difficulties, ADHD, and compassion fatigue for helpers and first responders. Gina blends practical tools and reflective conversation so clients can test small changes between sessions. She also practices meditation and yoga, and uses those lived skills in session when useful.
Gina invites people to begin wherever they are. She focuses on clear goals, steady progress, and helping clients find meaning and manageable ways forward.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person as they are and building a trusting relationship. Online work uses this same focus by centering the client's concerns and pacing work to what feels doable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to notice thoughts and change unhelpful patterns. Online sessions can support learning and practicing these tools between meetings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills for intense feelings, which can be taught and practiced across sessions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, test methods, and adjust based on how the client responds. Clients are invited to give feedback so therapy stays relevant and useful.
The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Many people appreciate online work because it can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when days are busy. Online sessions can also let clients use written worksheets and home practice between appointments to reinforce new skills.
