About Gina

Gina Marqua is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who draws on a decade of experience to support people through trauma, addiction, mood disorders, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She blends evidence-based techniques with a compassionate, client-centered stance to help clients work through guilt, shame, and difficult memories while building practical coping skills. Her practice emphasizes trauma-informed care and addresses complex issues such as chronic pain, addiction, and attachment challenges.

Gina uses a mix of therapeutic methods tailored to each person’s needs, offering approaches that can include cognitive behavioral strategies, emotion regulation skills, and targeted processing for traumatic memories. She pays particular attention to family dynamics, relationship stresses, and the emotional impacts of grief and life change.

Practicing under Tennessee and Indiana licensure, she brings a relational and strengths-focused orientation that aims to foster resilience and clearer self-understanding.

Online approaches that blend trauma work and skills building

Gina frequently integrates Attachment-Based Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and emotional bonds, helping clients understand how early patterns affect current connections and reactions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and introduces practical strategies to change them, which is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.

Choosing an approach is collaborative rather than fixed. The therapist will discuss how different methods might fit a person's history, symptoms, and goals, and will adjust the plan as therapy progresses to better match needs and preferences.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for scheduling and communication style. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care across busy routines and support consistent work on issues like trauma processing, addiction recovery, mood regulation, and coping with life changes.
