About Gina

Gina Mumey is a licensed clinical social worker with nine years of experience in mental health care. She focuses on helping adults cope with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and life changes. Gina listens first and then helps people set clear, realistic goals.

Her work balances practical skills and emotional support so clients can move forward at their own pace. She prefers to hear what a person hopes to achieve and then build a plan together.

Background and approach

Sessions can be a place to vent, sort through options, or practice new coping strategies. Gina emphasizes strengths and resilience, pointing out what already works while adding healthier tools when needed. Gina has specialized training in gerontology and advanced behaviors and cognitive care, which adds depth when supporting older adults and people facing dementia-related challenges.

She has also led grief support groups and helped people process losses that come in many forms. These experiences shape her steady, practical style. Her approach draws from evidence-informed methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered therapy.

Gina also uses mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and hypnotherapy techniques when appropriate. She aims to match methods to each person’s goals rather than following one fixed protocol. Gina practices in Oregon as an LCSW, and she offers a mix of live and text-based session styles.

She encourages straightforward, collaborative work and focuses on small, manageable steps toward better daily functioning and wellbeing.

Practical approaches for online support

Gina uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice their thoughts and focus on what matters to them. ACT teaches simple skills for moving toward valued goals even when strong feelings show up. She also uses client-centered therapy, which centers on listening, understanding, and supporting each person at their own pace. This approach helps when someone needs space to be heard and to make decisions from their own values.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gina talks with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then tries methods that fit. She treats therapy as a collaboration, adjusting techniques as progress or challenges arise so the plan stays useful and realistic.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into daily life. These options let people connect from home, take shorter check-ins when needed, and choose the format that feels most comfortable. The variety also helps maintain continuity during busy or changing schedules.

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.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
