About Gina
Gina Sokolich is a licensed professional counselor with eight years of clinical experience. She brings a background in emergency medical services to her counseling work, which shaped her understanding of trauma and high-stress jobs. Gina speaks plainly and aims to make the first steps toward help feel manageable.
She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem. Gina also helps people coping with grief, sleep problems, anger, and major life changes.
Background and approach
Her practice pays attention to specific issues like abandonment, codependency, body image, and work-related trauma for first responders. Sessions are client-led. Gina gives space for reflection while offering gentle challenges when a new view could help.
She talks through practical steps clients can try between sessions, such as mindfulness exercises and stress-relief strategies. Gina commonly uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, cognitive behavioral methods, and client-centered principles to guide work on painful memories and unhelpful habits. She explains approaches simply and tailors them to each person’s needs.
People who want straightforward conversation and concrete tools tend to do well with her approach. Gina aims to make therapy feel like a steady place to sort things out, set goals, and try small changes that add up over time.

Online support
Approaches you can use in online sessions
Gina most often uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, cognitive behavioral techniques, and client-centered work. EMDR is used to address disturbing memories and trauma-related reactions by processing upsetting experiences in a structured way. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and meeting each person where they are to build trust and clarity.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Gina will discuss goals, preferences, and the kinds of strategies that feel workable. She aims to match techniques to the problem at hand and will adjust plans as progress and needs change, so the process stays collaborative.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat formats are useful for brief check-ins or ongoing coaching-style support. These options make it easier to keep regular contact, try new skills between meetings, and access counseling from different locations and routines.
