About Gina

Gina DeGuzman is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, and life transitions. She supports those facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, workplace problems, and questions about purpose or finances. Gina writes plainly and focuses on real-life coping skills people can use right away.

Gina brings twelve years of practice in Florida to sessions. She learned early to listen closely and to ask practical questions that clarify what matters most.

Background and approach

Her style is warm, interactive, and accepting, aimed at building tools for mood and stress management rather than offering quick fixes. Her work draws on Narrative Therapy to help people reframe their stories and make sense of difficult experiences. She also uses Client-Centered techniques to keep the conversation focused on the client’s priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her toolkit for changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Sessions often focus on concrete skills such as stress reduction, problem-solving, and setting boundaries. Gina also helps people improve communication, cope with divorce or separation, and address loneliness or multicultural concerns.

She emphasizes small, actionable steps that can fit into daily life. Gina supports clients through a mix of evidence-based approaches and practical coaching. She aims to help people gain clearer direction, rebuild self-esteem, and handle emotional setbacks with more confidence.

Her goal is to leave clients with tools they can use after therapy ends.

Online session options

How Gina’s Approaches Work Online

Gina commonly blends Narrative Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in sessions. Narrative Therapy invites people to tell and rethink the stories they live by, so they can notice other possibilities and make different choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms of anxiety or depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Gina will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest ways to try an approach and see what fits. She treats the plan as flexible and adjusts based on what helps most.

Online sessions offer several practical benefits. Video calls let people use facial cues and longer conversations when that is helpful. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option or easier to fit into a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, flexible scheduling, and written reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing daily demands.
