Gina Young, LMSW - Therapist in Michigan

About Gina

Gina Young is a licensed master social worker who draws on 17 years of practice to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and family or parenting challenges. She uses straightforward, practical conversation to help clients name problems and find workable next steps. Gina keeps talk focused and down to earth so busy parents can make progress between sessions.

She creates a nonjudgmental space where people can say what they really feel.

Background and approach

Sessions often cover relationships, communication problems, and issues like guilt, shame, or isolation. Gina also supports those dealing with addiction, grief, trauma, or career-related stress. Gina pays attention to practical goals such as improving parenting strategies, strengthening self-esteem, or managing anger and emotional ups and downs.

She brings experience with ADHD, bipolar concerns, and intimacy-related issues while keeping language plain and actionable. Many conversations center on small changes that lead to calmer routines at home. Her approach blends evidence-based therapeutic techniques with coaching-style guidance when helpful.

She helps clients set realistic goals, practice new ways of speaking and listening, and track progress in simple steps. That makes therapy feel more useful and less abstract. Gina is based in Michigan and meets with people in English.

She offers several remote formats to fit busy schedules and supports people working on family and parenting concerns who want clear, practical help.

How Gina Uses Evidence-Based Methods Online

Gina relies on evidence-based therapeutic techniques delivered in clear, practical terms. One common approach focuses on cognitive and behavioral strategies that help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different actions. This is useful for anxiety, stress, and changing daily habits.

Another frequent approach emphasizes communication skills and problem-solving. Sessions teach ways to speak and listen differently, manage family conflicts, and improve parenting routines. These tools aim to make home life run more smoothly and reduce repeated arguments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gina treats selection as a collaborative step. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels realistic, then suggest techniques to try and adjust them as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy families. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when needed, while phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide options for shorter check-ins or parents with limited time. These formats make it easier to fit regular sessions into a packed schedule and to practice new skills between meetings.
