About Gina
Gina DeGuzman is an LCSW with 12 years of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar symptoms, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and life transitions.
Background and approach
She brings a practical focus to therapy, aiming to help clients build day-to-day coping skills, improve mood regulation, and address workplace or financial stressors that interfere with wellbeing. Her style blends warmth and collaboration with evidence-informed techniques.
Gina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete behavior changes, and she draws on Client-Centered principles to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space for exploration. She also integrates motivational interviewing, narrative, and solution-focused strategies when those methods fit a person's goals.
Working in Florida, she has experience across cultural contexts and attends to issues like communication breakdowns, family conflict, and isolation. Gina emphasizes practical tools and empowerment, helping people translate insights into sustainable routines and healthier relationships.
Her approach is interactive and goal-oriented, with the aim of helping clients move toward a more balanced and purposeful life.
Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy
Gina often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and build practical behavioral changes, which can be taught and practiced across phone or video sessions. Client-Centered Therapy is another central influence in her work, emphasizing empathetic listening and collaboration so clients feel heard and can set their own therapeutic priorities. Motivational Interviewing is used to strengthen commitment to change when clients are weighing options or seeking clearer direction.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Gina works with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts techniques as progress unfolds. This partnership helps ensure therapy remains focused and relevant to the issues that matter most to the client.
Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide flexibility for scheduling and allow therapeutic work to continue from different locations. These options can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, revisit skills between appointments, and maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are impractical.
