About Gina

She has 22 years of experience and holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential. In sessions she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new, concrete behaviors.
Background and approach
That can mean changing patterns around sleep, anger, or relationships. She also works with concerns tied to trauma, grief, addiction, and intimacy issues. Gina pays attention to cultural and identity factors when they matter to a person’s care.
Parents often get help building routines, setting limits, and responding to stress without escalating conflict. Gina uses short, practical exercises so skills can be practiced at home. She adapts plans to match each family’s needs rather than applying one fixed method.
Her approach includes straightforward coaching in skills, guided problem solving, and exploring what a person values for their life. She believes small, consistent changes add up over time. Gina also welcomes conversations that include faith when clients want that as part of care.
Gina is licensed in New York and Louisiana as an LCSW. She aims to make starting therapy feel doable and supports each person through the early steps of change.
How Gina Uses CBT Online to Support Parents and Individuals
Gina employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in simple, action-oriented ways. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. It can be helpful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, anger, and parenting challenges by breaking issues into small, manageable steps.She pairs skill practice with short assignments clients can do between sessions. Choosing the right method is part of the work together - Gina collaborates with each person to match the approach to their situation, goals, and comfort level. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting plans as needed.
Online sessions are delivered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. These options make it easier to follow up regularly, practice new skills at home, and get support without travel. The variety of formats allows parents and busy adults to pick what works best for them while keeping therapy focused and practical.
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.
