How Gina’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts without letting them drive every choice. It focuses on values and small actions that add meaning, which can ease anxiety and life-direction questions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It’s often used for anxiety, sleep issues, and anger. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, works with stressful memories by pairing focused attention and guided processing to reduce distress from past events.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gina talks with each person about goals, symptoms, and daily life, then suggests approaches to try. That decision is collaborative and may shift as progress is made, with Gina offering exercises and short homework between sessions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or quieter surroundings, and messaging or live chat offers flexible, ongoing support between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other routines while using the methods described above.
