She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strains, grief, and addictions.

Gina also has a history of supporting people through adoption and parenting challenges and grief related to illness or loss. Gina describes her approach as warm and compassionate while remaining solution-focused. She partners with clients to set achievable goals and build step-by-step plans.
Many clients find this balance helpful when they need both emotional support and practical change. She offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules.

Online support
Using Attachment and Skills-Based Approaches Online
Gina uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current patterns and reactions. This helps when people notice repeated trust, closeness, or boundary problems that affect daily life. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying values and taking small, committed steps toward those values even when emotions are difficult.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gina will talk with each client about goals and preferences, then tailor techniques from attachment work, ACT, CBT, or DBT as needed. The process is collaborative and paced to what the person wants to accomplish.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let you read visual cues and practice skills together. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when you need a shorter check-in. Chat and messaging are useful for quick skill reminders, journaling between sessions, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules.
