About Ginger

Background and approach

Before social work she taught secondary science, and that background informs her practical, teaching-minded approach to therapy. Her work often focuses on measurable goals tied to the client’s priorities. Sessions blend client-centered planning with proven methods like cognitive behavioral tools and mindfulness exercises.

She helps people build small, manageable steps toward clearer routines, better sleep, and improved coping when life becomes overwhelming. Ginger has spent significant time providing behavioral health services to active-duty military members, dependents, and retirees both inside and outside the continental United States.

That experience contributes to her comfort addressing trauma, adjustment to life changes, and stress related to work or deployment rhythms. Clients can expect sessions that emphasize strengths and practical skills. Therapy can be short-term and solution-focused or longer-term, depending on the goals agreed on together.

Ginger aims to help people rediscover strengths they may have forgotten and to make steady progress toward tangible changes.

Evidence-based approaches for online care

Ginger uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that make sense for online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and it supports taking small action steps toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.

Choosing the right method is part of the work together. Ginger partners with each person to figure out which approaches match their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative planning helps shape whether sessions lean more toward skills practice, mindfulness, values-based action, or problem-solving techniques.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, keep momentum between meetings, and use different formats for skill practice or brief check-ins. Ginger uses these formats to help people make steady progress from wherever they are.

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.

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.
