Gina Marqua, LCSW - Therapist in Tennessee

About Gina

Gina Marqua is a licensed clinical social worker who uses practical, evidence-based therapies to help people facing difficult life moments. She blends techniques that focus on relationships and present-day thinking to address issues like trauma, addiction, anxiety, depression, and family stress. Gina communicates in plain language and aims to make sessions feel straightforward and useful from the first meeting.

Her practice often centers on attachment-related patterns and how they affect current relationships.

Background and approach

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to spot unhelpful thinking and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is included when past traumatic memories need focused processing. Gina draws on ten years of clinical experience and holds LCSW licensure in Tennessee and Indiana.

She commonly works with people dealing with addiction, grief, anger, bipolar disorder, and stress related to life changes. Other areas she addresses include abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, chronic illness, codependency, dissociation, and intellectual disability. Her sessions are informed by compassion and an interest in clients' values and strengths.

Gina offers a style rooted in client-centered connection while teaching concrete tools to manage symptoms and repair relationships. She also integrates faith-informed perspectives when clients request that context. Therapy with Gina is available through multiple online formats and is organized through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

She practices in Tennessee and provides services in English.

How therapeutic approaches fit into online care

Attachment-Based Therapy helps clarify how early relationships shape current patterns. It looks at how people connect and responds to problems that show up in family and close relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills for reducing anxiety and depression. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, targets distressing memories to lessen their emotional intensity and is used when past trauma affects daily life.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they’ll try methods that match the person’s needs and adjust the plan over time as progress becomes clear.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to keep up with regular sessions, practice new skills between meetings, and bring therapy into the context of everyday life. Licensed professionals can use these formats to teach coping strategies, review homework, and work through trauma-focused interventions in ways that suit each person’s routine.

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.

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.
