  2. How Gina’s approaches translate to online therapy

    Gina blends Motivational Interviewing with client-centered and cognitive behavioral strategies to help people make change and manage symptoms. Motivational Interviewing focuses on finding a person’s own reasons to change and building confidence to take steps forward. Client-centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person’s goals and experiences, so sessions follow what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems in place and teaches concrete techniques to shift them.

    Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Gina will collaborate with each person to decide which combination best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. That process can include trying a few techniques and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
