Background and approach
She then supports building simple skills for managing stress, moods, cravings, and daily routines. Gina has worked in community mental health clinics and in independent practice. She has experience supporting people with trauma and addiction concerns across different settings.
That background informs a flexible approach to care and to problem solving. Sessions are collaborative. Gina listens first, then suggests concrete strategies and practice tasks.
She uses short exercises, skill coaching, and guided reflection to help people try small changes between sessions. Many clients come with anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, or struggles with work and parenting demands. Gina also supports people dealing with ADHD-related challenges by helping them organize routines and reduce overwhelm.
Her aim is to help people build habits that make daily life more manageable. She is licensed as an LCSW in New York and Florida and sees clients in Florida. Sessions are held in English and offered through a range of online formats to fit different schedules.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in the room. It involves listening deeply, reflecting what is said, and helping people set goals that matter to them. This approach is useful for people who want a collaborative, supportive space to sort out priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Gina uses CBT techniques to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavior changes that reduce anxiety, depression, or ADHD-related overwhelm.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, provides concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Skills work can include grounding strategies, emotion regulation, and communication practices people use between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Gina discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts methods as needed. The choices are collaborative so the plan matches the client’s needs and lifestyle.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules. Video calls work well for in-depth conversation and practice with skills; phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option when video is difficult. Live chat or text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skill reminders, and ongoing coaching between sessions. These options help people maintain continuity of care and try strategies in real life while staying connected with a licensed professional.
