About Gina
Gina Ferrari is a licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) with 12 years of experience helping people navigate hard times. She focuses on practical support for stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and struggles with addiction and bipolar mood challenges. She uses a strengths-based, collaborative style.
Gina works alongside people to find realistic tools that fit their life and schedule. She treats parenting strain, family conflict, career stress, anger, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and LGBTQ-related concerns with the same straightforward care.
How Gina works
Gina has spent more than a decade in social work settings. That time gave her wide exposure to many life situations, including caring for people with family stressors and work-related burnout. Her background means she is comfortable addressing trauma and abuse and helping people rebuild after loss.
In sessions she emphasizes skill-building and real-world changes. Conversations focus on what is manageable now - small habits, coping steps, and clearer communication. She aims to help people uncover their own resilience and apply practical strategies for day-to-day wellbeing.
Gina offers sessions online and by phone, text, or chat to fit different routines. People who prefer a direct, steady approach that centers their strengths may find her style helpful when facing the pressures of modern life.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
Gina emphasizes evidence-based techniques that focus on skills and recovery. One common approach she uses focuses on building practical coping skills to reduce anxiety and manage stress through step-by-step strategies and daily habits. This helps people handle work pressure, racing thoughts, and overwhelm. Another core approach centers on processing grief and trauma in manageable ways, using paced conversations and grounding techniques so people can gradually rebuild stability after loss or abuse.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Gina works with individuals to identify goals, preferences, and which methods feel most useful. Together they try techniques, track what helps, and adjust the plan so it fits each person’s life and needs.
Online therapy with Gina includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper weekly sessions and face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for quick updates, brief coaching, or when someone needs support between scheduled sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy routines and changing schedules.
