About Gina

Dr. Gina Coffaro brings two decades of counseling experience to her practice in New Jersey, focusing on a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, self-esteem, career transitions, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She emphasizes individualized, strength-based care that helps clients develop practical coping skills and pursue more fulfilling lives. Dr.

Coffaro earned her doctoral degree from Drew University with a specialization in individual and family counseling and holds the LPC credential, which she uses to guide adults through life changes and emotional challenges.

Her work blends attentive listening with goal-oriented strategies to support people facing issues such as depression, bipolar disorder, intimacy-related struggles, parenting challenges, and eating or sleeping problems. She also addresses concerns connected to LGBT matters, obsessive-compulsive patterns, seasonal affective disorder, and first responder or veteran-related issues.

Dr. Coffaro frames therapy as a collaborative journey - partnering with clients to uncover strengths, clarify values, and build skills that lead to meaningful, measurable progress in daily life.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where the client’s experiences and values guide the work; this approach helps people build self-awareness and find their own solutions to problems like anxiety, relationship concerns, and coping with life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, skill-oriented method that identifies unhelpful thinking patterns and develops practical tools to change behaviors and emotions; it is often effective for anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive tendencies, and sleep or eating concerns.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) targets emotional patterns in relationships and can help partners or individuals understand attachment needs and improve intimacy and communication.

Finding the right method is part of the therapeutic process and will be determined collaboratively based on the client’s goals, preferences, and life circumstances. The therapist will discuss how different strategies might fit the client’s priorities and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to schedule consistent sessions around work, family, or other obligations. These formats support continuity of care and allow licensed professionals to deliver counseling with tools adapted to each person’s communication style and daily routine.
