Background and approach
Sessions are meant to be straightforward and focused on what a person wants to change or understand. Her style blends several evidence-based techniques so therapy can adapt to each person's needs. Cognitive-behavioral ideas help with changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Motivational interviewing can support people who are ambivalent about substance use or other changes. Gina also uses trauma-informed ways of working to help people recover from abuse, complex trauma, dissociation, or domestic violence. She pays attention to attachment and abandonment issues when they come up in relationships or family challenges.
She has experience with many related concerns, including codependency, communication problems, control issues, cancer-related stress, divorce and separation, and blended family matters. The focus in sessions is on practical steps, clearer thinking, and improving everyday functioning. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online through video, phone, chat, or messaging.
Gina supports people who want steady guidance while they navigate recovery, loss, or big life shifts.
How Gina Uses Evidence-Based Tools Online
Gina draws from a few evidence-based approaches to tailor online work to each person. Cognitive-behavioral techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like depression or anxiety. Motivational interviewing is used when someone feels stuck about substance use or life changes; it helps clarify values and build internal motivation for change.Finding the right approach happens together. Gina will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. She adapts methods over time so sessions feel useful and aligned with the client's needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make access easier. Video allows for full conversation and visual cues. Phone works well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging let people reflect between sessions and send quick updates. These options help fit therapy into busy days and different routines.
