Gina Sinito, LMHC, LPCC - Therapist in Ohio

About Gina

Gina Sinito is a licensed counselor practicing in Ohio. She holds the Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential and the Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor credential. She has twenty three years of experience and approaches work with a calm, down-to-earth manner.

She emphasizes respect for each person's values and choices and aims to create a space where people can speak honestly about hard things. Her style is rooted in client-centered, humanistic principles.

Background and approach

That means she pays attention to the person first and follows the client's pace. She uses practical tools from mindfulness and cognitive behavioral techniques to address anxiety, depression, and stress. She also combines emotion-focused ideas when relationship or attachment issues come up.

Gina often supports people facing life transitions such as divorce, loss, major illness, and career changes. She works with concerns that include trauma, addictions, grief, parenting, and mood disorders. She also addresses issues like low self-esteem, body image, caregiver stress, and compassion fatigue.

In sessions she favors clear, concrete strategies alongside time to reflect. Clients can expect to learn coping skills, try thought-focused exercises, and practice present-moment awareness. She values collaboration and adapts methods to each person's situation.

Outside of work she spends time with family, walks, practices yoga, and meditates. Those personal practices inform her approach and keep her focused on steady, practical steps forward.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Gina uses client-centered methods that put the person's experience first. This approach focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people reconnect with their values so they can make changes that matter. It suits concerns where understanding and personal growth are the goal.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. CBT gives straightforward tools to reduce anxiety, manage mood symptoms, and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques are used when emotion regulation and stress tolerance skills are helpful; these teach concrete skills for handling strong emotions and interpersonal stress.

Figuring out the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and recommend methods that fit each person's needs. Over time, techniques can be adjusted so the work stays practical and useful.

Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, keep work moving during life transitions, and revisit strategies between meetings. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver the same tools and supportive conversation used in person.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
