About Gina

Gina DeGuzman is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, and relationship struggles. She uses clear, practical guidance to help clients build coping skills and manage mood. Gina speaks English and practices in Florida as LCSW, FL LCSW SW11755.

Gina brings twelve years of clinical experience to sessions. She learned early to step in when people needed help and has kept that focus throughout her career.

Background and approach

Her approach is warm and interactive, with an emphasis on concrete tools rather than long lectures. In sessions she draws on several proven methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, for example, helps people spot unhelpful thinking and change small behaviors that make a big difference.

She also uses Client-Centered techniques to listen closely and shape therapy around each person's goals. Gina offers practical strategies for stress management, mood regulation, and improving communication. She also supports people dealing with trauma, parenting concerns, workplace issues, and life transitions.

Conversations are goal-focused and paced to match what a person can manage in daily life. The overall aim is to leave clients with skills they can use after sessions end. Gina works with each person to set realistic steps, adjust plans when needed, and track progress over time.

Approach-driven online care that fits busy lives

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. The therapist offers empathy and reflection to help people clarify goals and feel understood, which is helpful when someone is unsure where to begin.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches simple steps to change unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gina will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. That choice is revisited as progress is made so the plan stays useful.

Online therapy provides flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people talk face to face from home, phone sessions remove travel time, and live chat or text-based messaging can fit into a hectic schedule. These options make it easier to practice new skills between sessions and keep therapy consistent despite busy family and work demands.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

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.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
