Gina Ferrari, LICSW - Therapist in Washington

About Gina

Gina Ferrari is a licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) who offers practical, down-to-earth support for people navigating family and parenting challenges. She uses a strengths-based, collaborative style to help clients notice resources they already have and build new skills. Gina aims to meet people where they are and work at a pace that fits their life.

She brings 12 years of experience in social work settings. That work has included supporting people coping with stress and anxiety, relationship and family tensions, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, and intimacy concerns.

Background and approach

She has also supported clients with parenting struggles, anger, self-esteem, career decisions, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue. In sessions she listens for what matters most and then tailors practical tools to everyday life. She pays attention to how work demands, constant digital input, and shifting roles can wear people down.

Gina focuses on helping people develop coping practices they can actually use between appointments. Her approach is collaborative - she treats clients as the experts on their own lives while offering guidance, feedback, and skills. She emphasizes clear, teachable techniques rather than abstract theory.

The goal is steady, realistic progress that fits each person’s routine. Gina works in Washington and conducts sessions in English. She accepts international clients and draws on a mix of evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address the problems people bring to her.

Evidence-based approaches and online care

Gina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and real-life change. One common approach she employs emphasizes identifying strengths and building coping tools for stress and anxiety; this involves learning simple practices to manage overwhelming thoughts and daily pressure. Another technique she draws on targets relationship and family patterns, helping people notice interaction styles and try new ways of communicating to reduce conflict and build connection. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Gina will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then try techniques that fit their situation. Together they check what works and adjust strategies over time so therapy stays useful and relevant. Online therapy offers practical flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people connect face to face from home, phone sessions are an alternative when video isn’t possible, and live chat or text-based messaging can be used for brief check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities.
