About Gina
Gina Todd is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 22 years of experience. She focuses on clear, practical help for people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. Gina aims to make the first steps into therapy understandable and manageable for worried parents and busy adults.
Gina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and shift behaviors that keep problems going. Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented, with tools people can try between meetings.
Background and approach
She also draws on a person-centered way of working that respects each person’s values and pace. Clients often bring concerns about self-esteem, grief, trauma and abuse, or struggles with sleep and parenting. Gina helps people map small, realistic steps to reduce overwhelm and regain control.
She also supports people facing career stress, compassion fatigue, addictions, and intimacy-related issues. Her background includes long-term practice across different communities, and she holds licenses in Louisiana and New York. Gina adapts treatment plans to each person’s needs and life circumstances rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.
Gina encourages people to take gradual steps toward change. She helps parents and adults create plans that fit busy schedules and real-life demands. Beginning therapy can feel brave, and she meets that courage with steady, practical support.
How CBT and Online Sessions Work Together
Gina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice and change thinking patterns that feed anxiety and low mood. CBT focuses on practical steps and short exercises people can use between sessions to reduce worry and improve sleep. She pairs CBT with a person-centered outlook that honors each person's goals and pace, so plans feel realistic and usable.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Gina will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend CBT techniques or complementary strategies that make sense. She adjusts methods over time based on what is helping and what feels doable for the person.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for busy schedules. Video can support interactive CBT work like reviewing thought records or practicing skills together. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat or messaging can work well for brief coaching, scheduling, or follow-up between sessions. These options let people fit therapy into work days, caregiving routines, or irregular schedules while maintaining consistent progress.
