About Gina
Gina Todd is a licensed clinical social worker with 22 years of experience. She uses straightforward methods to help people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or worn out. Gina focuses on practical steps and clear goals so parents and caregivers can make small changes that add up.
She often begins by listening closely to what feels hardest right now. Then she and the client pick a few concrete skills to practice between sessions. Gina draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different responses. This approach can help with sleep, worry, low mood, and managing anger.
Over two decades of work in mental health have given her a broad view of common life stresses. She pays attention to how parenting responsibilities, work demands, and relationship strain affect daily routines. Gina helps people untangle patterns that make coping harder and find more workable habits.
Sessions are framed around clear, achievable tasks and plain language. Clients who want to address grief, trauma, addiction concerns, or identity-related stress can expect step-by-step options rather than jargon. Gina also includes discussion of how faith and personal values shape choices when that matters to the person in therapy.
People starting with her complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to availability. The focus is on what can change next week, not on distant promises. Gina aims to make early sessions useful and actionable so parents can try new approaches at home.
How cognitive behavioral approaches work in online care
Gina frequently uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. That method is often useful for anxiety, sleep problems, depression, anger, and day-to-day stress because it teaches practical skills you can practice between sessions.She also integrates person-centered conversation and elements that consider a person’s faith or values when relevant. Those elements create space to talk about what matters most and to shape goals that fit a client’s life and beliefs.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Gina will work collaboratively to figure out what methods suit your goals and preferences. Together you will choose small, manageable steps to try before changing course if something does not fit.
