About Gina

Gina Batliner is a licensed professional counselor in Oregon with 25 years of practice. She focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside mood and stress-related issues. She aims to create a calm, down-to-earth space where parents and caregivers can talk through practical problems and find clearer ways forward.

Gina draws on straightforward, evidence-informed methods to address anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, trauma and ADHD-related challenges. Sessions tend to center on concrete tools for daily life, clearer communication within families, and coping strategies that fit each person’s routine.

Background and approach

She keeps language simple and prefers steps clients can try between meetings. Her training includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. Gina uses those methods to help people notice what matters, change unhelpful patterns, and build more helpful habits.

She adapts techniques to fit a family’s values and practical needs. In session, Gina emphasizes collaboration and small, evidence-based steps. She supports parents and caregivers as they test new ways of responding to stress and relationship strain.

Expect a patient, respectful clinician who focuses on real-world change. Gina is credentialed as an LPC, Oregon license number C4123, and offers therapy in English. Her background includes long-term clinical work in community and practice settings, and she brings that experience to family and parenting topics.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice their values and take actions that match those values. It emphasizes small, meaningful steps and learning to live with difficult thoughts rather than fighting them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that get in the way and replacing them with more helpful patterns. It often uses practical exercises and homework to change day-to-day routines and mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Gina works together with clients to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. She will check in and adjust techniques as therapy progresses so the plan fits each family’s rhythm and priorities.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules. These formats make it easier to meet between work, school, and parenting demands and to try strategies in real time. Licensed professionals can use these formats to teach skills, review progress, and support consistent practice from wherever clients are located.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
