About Gina
Her approach is humanistic and client-centered, focusing on helping people be more authentic in daily life. She uses mindfulness and cognitive behavioral techniques to address symptoms and habits that get in the way of feeling well. Trauma-Focused Therapy is also part of her practice when past events affect current functioning.
Gina commonly helps people dealing with grief, relationship concerns, parenting strain, addiction, and career changes. She also supports those facing medical or end-of-life transitions, caregiver stress, and issues around body image and eating. Her work includes attention to mood disorders and coping skills for anger, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
Sessions emphasize practical skills, present-moment awareness, and collaborative goal setting. Clients can expect to practice mindfulness exercises, learn ways to shift unhelpful thoughts, and try new behaviors between visits. Gina describes therapy as a shared process where small changes add up over time.
Outside of the office she spends time with family, walks, practices yoga, and meditates. She says these daily practices inform her therapeutic style and help her stay grounded while supporting others.
How Gina’s approaches translate to online work
Gina draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on addressing the impact of past traumatic events and supporting present-day coping. Client-Centered Therapy centers on empathic listening and helping people discover their own answers. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical skills to reduce symptoms and improve functioning.Finding the right way to work together is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which approaches to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove the need to travel. Many people find they can practice mindfulness and homework tasks more readily between sessions when therapy fits into their routine. Licensed professionals tailor pacing and exercises so online appointments support real-world change.
