About Gina
Gina Marqua is a licensed clinical social worker with ten years of experience helping people work through trauma, addiction, grief, and relationship strain. She practices in Tennessee and brings a direct, compassionate style to sessions. Gina focuses on practical coping skills and helping clients make sense of painful experiences.
Her work often addresses complex trauma and issues tied to attachment and mood. She uses EMDR as one of several tools to help people process difficult memories and lessen their emotional intensity.
Background and approach
Gina also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and dialectical skills for emotional regulation. Many clients come for help with substance use, chronic pain, or the fallout of abuse. Gina pays attention to how family history, abandonment, or foster and adoption experiences shape current patterns.
She also supports people struggling with anger, bipolar mood patterns, ADHD, and problems with intimacy. Gina takes a client-centered stance in sessions, listening first and tailoring the plan to each person. She blends attachment-focused work with skills training so clients build safer ways of relating and managing stress.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical, with clear steps between meetings. Her LCSW credential reflects clinical social work training and practice in Tennessee and Indiana. Sessions are offered in English and available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging for flexibility.

Online support
How EMDR, CBT, and Attachment Work Online
Gina uses EMDR to help people process distressing memories so those memories carry less emotional charge. EMDR sessions focus on safe pacing and step-by-step processing of specific events while tracking symptoms and stability. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify patterns of thinking that make problems worse and to practice more helpful responses. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing mood or behavior between sessions. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current connections and helps build new ways of relating and trusting others. Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and what feels manageable, then adjust methods as needed. Clients help shape the plan so work stays practical and focused on daily life improvements. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for in-depth work and reading nonverbal cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins, ongoing problem-solving, and support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy schedules.We will earn a commission if you sign up through our link, at no cost to you.
