About Ginger
Ginger Santiago is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 10 years of experience. She centers sessions on the person in front of her and helps people build practical skills to manage stress, anxiety, grief, and depression. She encourages clients to see themselves as the expert in their own life.
Sessions focus on strength and problem solving, not on labels. Ginger aims to make the first steps toward change feel doable and clear.
How Ginger works
Her work often uses straightforward techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot and shift unhelpful thinking. She also draws on client-centered methods to listen closely and follow each person's priorities. For people impacted by trauma, she brings trauma-focused tools to reduce the hold of painful memories.
Ginger has supported people through relationship strain, parenting challenges, career stress, and major life transitions. She also addresses issues such as anger, self-esteem, caregiver stress, workplace problems, and concerns related to military service and post-traumatic stress. Sessions are offered in English and conducted online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
Her Florida LMHC credential is held in state. To begin, she encourages a simple first step so people can see if the approach fits their goals.

Online support options
Remote therapeutic approaches that meet you where you are
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and following what the client says is most important. This approach helps people feel heard and clarify their own goals before deciding on next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice patterns of thinking and behavior that worsen stress and mood problems. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to build different habits that reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of treatment. Ginger works collaboratively to match methods to a client's needs, goals, and preferences. She reviews options together and adjusts the plan as progress and feedback indicate what works best.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules while offering consistent access to licensed professionals.
