Background and approach

She combines psychodynamic insight, cognitive-behavioral ideas, and humanistic values to help people notice patterns and try new ways of coping. In practical terms Gina helps clients name what’s getting in the way, practice small changes, and build clearer communication with others.
She offers tools for managing strong emotions, reducing compulsive behaviors, and improving self-worth. Work in therapy is collaborative and geared toward the client’s goals.
Gina works with adults across a range of life stages who want support with relationships, career stress, self-esteem, and recovery from loss or trauma. Sessions are offered in English and organized to fit each person’s schedule and needs.
How Gina’s Approaches Work Online
Gina integrates psychodynamic ideas to help clients identify long-standing patterns that influence current relationships and feelings. This work often involves reflecting on past experiences and noticing ways those experiences repeat in daily life, which can help with attachment, abandonment, and family of origin concerns.She also uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to teach concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, and addictive urges. These techniques include behavior experiments, thought tracking, and practical coping strategies that can be practiced between sessions and measured over time.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Gina will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will choose methods that feel useful. Adjustments are made as therapy progresses to match what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video offers face-to-face conversation for deeper discussion, while phone can work when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, shorter reflections, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep consistent progress over time.
