About Gina
Gina Sinito is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 23 years of experience. She practices from a humanistic, client-centered perspective and approaches each person with empathy. Gina focuses on practical steps that help people feel steadier in day-to-day life.
She often works with anxiety and depression and helps with stress, addictions, grief, and relationship concerns. Parenting is one of the areas she lists, and she supports individuals facing family and caregiving strains.
Background and approach
Gina also addresses life transitions like divorce, career change, and major illness. Her sessions use mindfulness and cognitive behavioral techniques to create useful tools for coping. She encourages authentic self-expression and helps people notice patterns that get in the way of their goals.
She also draws on elements of dialectical behavior therapy and emotionally-focused work when it fits the person's needs. Gina brings a steady, calm presence to sessions and values collaborative work. She uses conversational, down-to-earth language and offers concrete strategies as well as space to process feelings.
Outside of work she enjoys walking, yoga, meditation, and time with family, which inform her approach to balance and self-care. People looking for help with mood, parenting stress, trauma, or life changes can expect a warm, practical collaborator. Gina aims to help people build skills, reduce overwhelm, and make choices that align with what matters most to them.

How her approach shapes online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person in the room and supports individuals who want to be more authentic and self-directed. It emphasizes empathy, active listening, and a nonjudgmental stance to help people clarify their values and choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It works well for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and for building routines while coping with life transitions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. These tools can be helpful for intense emotions, relationship stress, and managing impulsive or self-sabotaging actions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then tailor techniques from these approaches to match each person's needs. Decisions about focus and pace are collaborative and may shift over time.
Online formats - video, phone, live chat, and text messaging - offer practical flexibility. Video calls are good for a face-to-face feel and deeper conversation. Phone sessions fit times with low bandwidth or when being on camera is not needed. Live chat or text sessions can be useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when someone needs shorter touchpoints between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and maintain continuity during transitions.
