About Gina

Gina Clemente is a licensed marriage and family therapist who practices in California. She earned a master’s degree in counseling from California State University, Fullerton and holds the LMFT credential (CA LMFT 113691). She brings six years of clinical experience working with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, substance use, and other life challenges.

Gina describes her manner as calm and genuine, aiming to make people feel heard from the first session.

Background and approach

She uses a blend of psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and humanistic ideas. In practice this means she looks at how past patterns shape current reactions, teaches practical skills to manage distress, and centers the person’s own values and goals. Sessions tend to be collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.

Gina focuses on problems such as relationship struggles, grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, anger, and self-esteem. She also addresses work-related stress, compassion fatigue, and issues tied to family of origin. Her approach includes attention to attachment, communication, and recovery from drug and alcohol addiction.

Therapy is offered in English through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a prospective client selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules based on therapist availability.

Gina aims to create a steady, nonjudgmental space. She works with each person to set goals and try approaches that fit their life and values.

How Gina adapts therapeutic approaches for online care

Gina draws on a few established approaches to guide online work. Cognitive-behavioral techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing small behavioral changes that reduce anxiety, improve mood, and support coping with stress. Psychodynamic ideas help people notice recurring patterns from earlier relationships and how those patterns show up now, which can be useful for issues like attachment, abandonment, and family of origin concerns.

She blends those methods with humanistic emphasis on the person’s values and strengths, so sessions include both skills practice and space to reflect on what matters most. Choosing the right combination is treated as a collaborative process. Gina will talk with each client about goals and preferences and then adjust the approach as needed.

Online sessions are offered by video, by phone, or through live chat and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These formats let people meet from home, fit therapy around work or family time, and keep regular contact between sessions when that helps progress. The different options help accommodate varied schedules and comfort levels while working toward each person’s goals.
