About Gina

Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with tools that clients can try between meetings. Gina has eight years of professional experience working with issues common to LGBT people, family strain, and transitions such as divorce or separation. She helps people manage panic attacks, social anxiety, and the guilt or shame that often follows big life events.
Clients often work on clearer communication and rebuilding a sense of purpose. Her style is warm and collaborative. Gina listens first, then suggests small steps a person can practice.
She supports clients who want to build self-compassion and stronger emotional connection to others.

She offers sessions in English to people located in Washington and works online using multiple formats.
How Gina’s approaches translate to online sessions
Gina blends cognitive behavioral techniques and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people change unhelpful thoughts and take values-based action. CBT focuses on identifying thinking patterns and practicing different behaviors to reduce anxiety and panic. ACT centers on noticing thoughts and feelings and choosing actions that match what matters most, which can help with stress and motivation.She treats therapy as a collaborative search for what works. During early sessions she will talk with the client about goals and try a few methods to see what fits. Together they adjust the plan over time, combining skill practice, emotional processing, and relationship-focused work as needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill coaching. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging let clients check in between sessions and try written exercises. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, family, or other responsibilities while using the therapeutic approaches described above.
