About Gina
Gina Ferrari is a licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) based in Washington who helps people manage anxiety and stress. She brings 12 years of experience supporting adults through life changes, grief, relationship strain, and work pressure. Gina focuses on practical steps that people can try between sessions.
She uses a strengths-based, collaborative style that centers each person's goals and day-to-day realities. Gina has spent years working with people facing trauma and abuse, depression, addiction, intimacy concerns, and parenting stresses.
Background and approach
She aims to meet people where they are and build on existing skills. Sessions typically involve talking through current problems, identifying unhelpful patterns, and practicing small behavior changes that make daily life easier. Her approach emphasizes learning tools people can use right away.
That can mean developing ways to handle anger, managing bipolar symptoms with routine and planning, or improving self-esteem through concrete steps. She also supports people dealing with career transitions and compassion fatigue from caregiving or demanding jobs. Gina likes to tailor a plan to fit each person’s schedule and needs.
She frames clients as the experts in their own lives and offers guidance, feedback, and homework that feels doable. Her aim is steady progress, not overnight fixes. People who prefer online options can meet with her by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
She also works with LGBT clients and those navigating family conflict, intimacy issues, or addictions, always keeping sessions focused on practical change and emotional relief.
Approaches and online care that fit your life
Gina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and skill building. One common approach she draws on helps clients identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood; this involves noticing patterns, testing different responses, and practicing small changes that add up over time. Another key method emphasizes strengths and collaboration - clients and the therapist map existing skills and build on them to handle stress, grief, or relationship strain.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Gina works together with each person to pick methods that match their goals, lifestyle, and what feels most useful. She adjusts the plan as progress is made and as needs shift, making therapy a collaborative effort rather than a fixed prescription.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets you work face-to-face when that helps, phone sessions can be an easier option when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it simpler to fit sessions into a busy life while keeping work focused on practical tools and steady progress.
