Approach-driven online therapy and what it looks like

Gina draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and try new behaviors. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and mood management because it focuses on clear steps and homework between sessions.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and building a trusting relationship. This approach helps people feel heard while they set their own goals and find their own solutions. Motivational Interviewing is sometimes used to explore readiness for change and strengthen motivation for steps like adjusting routines or work-life boundaries.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Gina will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is or isn't helping.
