About Gina
Gina Murrell is a California psychologist who focuses on practical, evidence-based support for anxiety and stress. She brings 15 years of experience to sessions and aims to help people navigate relationship concerns, intimacy issues, and major life changes. Gina uses straightforward conversation and collaborative planning.
She listens to what matters most and adapts sessions to each person's situation. That can mean short-term coping skills or a longer plan that addresses patterns and root causes.
Background and approach
Her work covers compassion fatigue and caregiver stress, so she often helps people who feel worn out by long-term caring roles. Communication problems, attachment concerns, and feelings of guilt or shame are also common topics she addresses. Clients looking for clarity about life purpose or who are coping with isolation and loneliness can find practical steps to try between sessions.
Gina supports women navigating transitions and identity questions related to those changes. Sessions are offered in English and take place online through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Gina frames progress as a shared effort and focuses on building skills people can use in daily life.
Evidence-based approaches for anxiety and relationships online
Gina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions in simple, practical ways. Cognitive approaches focus on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns that feed anxiety and worry, teaching tools people can use when stress ramps up. Behavioral strategies emphasize small, manageable experiments and exposure to reduce avoidance and build confidence in daily situations.She also works with attachment-related ideas to help people notice how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication. That work often involves learning new ways to ask for needs and set boundaries so relationships feel safer and more satisfying.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what feels helpful. Gina frames therapy as teamwork and checks in regularly to make sure methods match each person’s needs and preferences.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. Video is useful for deeper conversations and nonverbal cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text messaging can support quick check-ins and skill practice, and scheduling can be more flexible to accommodate work or caregiving responsibilities.
