Approaches that translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take small, values-guided steps. It can help with anxiety, stress, and life changes by teaching practical ways to act despite uncomfortable thoughts or feelings.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete tools to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, sleep problems, anger, and coping strategies.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to process traumatic memories by guiding attention while revisiting distressing events; it can reduce the intensity of trauma-related reactions for some people.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gina will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time based on what helps the person make steady progress.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Many people choose online therapy because it can make scheduling easier, let sessions fit around work or caregiving, or reduce travel time. Others prefer options that use less bandwidth or shorter check-ins when time is limited. Confirm current session options when you schedule so you know how sessions will be held.
