About Gina
Gina DeGuzman is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress and anxiety. She draws on twelve years of experience to offer practical tools for mood, coping, and everyday functioning. Her manner is warm and interactive, aimed at making therapy feel like a conversation rather than a lecture.
Gina focuses on short- and long-term strategies that people can use between sessions. She teaches skills for anxiety reduction, stress management, and improving work-life balance.
Background and approach
She also uses techniques to support mood regulation and to help people make forward progress after life changes. Her approach blends client-centered work with evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. That means conversations center on the person’s priorities while building skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior.
Sessions tend to be practical, with homework and clear steps to practice outside of sessions. Gina has a background in social work that began with community advocacy and grew into clinical practice. Over her career she has worked with people from diverse backgrounds on depression, trauma, relationship strain, parenting stress, and workplace challenges.
Her experience includes supporting people who are coping with bipolar disorder, ADHD, grief, and separation. She offers therapy from Florida and conducts sessions in English. Gina aims to help people notice small changes that add up to real improvement in daily life.
If someone wants a collaborative, down-to-earth therapist, she focuses on clear tools and steady support.
How Gina Uses Practical Approaches Online
Gina commonly blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy when working with people online. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify thinking and behavior patterns that keep anxiety and mood problems going, and then teaches simple exercises to try between sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and on building a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation so a person can set their own goals and feel understood.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Gina works collaboratively to choose methods that match a person’s goals and preferences. She checks in about what is or isn’t helpful and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and teaching exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow brief updates or coaching during a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and daily life while still focusing on concrete skills and steady progress.
