About Gina

Gina Sinito is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Ohio with 23 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, anger, relationship strain, and major life changes. Gina describes her approach as humanistic and client-centered and favors practical skills people can use between sessions.

She uses mindfulness and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try small, concrete changes. Sessions are conversational and focused on what a person wants to change in day-to-day life. Gina also brings elements of dialectical behavior therapy and emotionally focused ideas when they fit the situation.

Gina often supports people facing transitions such as divorce, loss, career change, new parenthood, or health challenges. She also works with concerns like low self-esteem, grief, caregiver stress, and substance use issues. Her background includes long-term practice helping people manage symptoms and regain a sense of direction.

In sessions she aims to create straightforward, practical steps such as mindfulness exercises, cognitive reframes, and behavior experiments. She encourages regular practice between meetings so skills become part of routines. Gina notes that meditation and gentle movement have been useful tools in her own life and professional work.

To begin, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment. Payment uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English and Gina does not accept international clients.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding a person's experience and helping them make choices that fit their values. Online sessions using this approach tend to be conversational and goal-focused, which helps when someone wants practical changes for daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and tests small experiments to change them. Online CBT can include homework, worksheets, and short check-ins to practice new skills between meetings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. When useful, DBT-based skills are taught in short steps and practiced in real-world situations.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the first few sessions. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals and then recommend which approaches to emphasize. That decision is collaborative and adjusts as needs and priorities shift.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins can work during a lunch break, phone sessions use less bandwidth, and video sessions allow full conversation when preferred. Licensed professionals often use these practical arrangements to help clients practice skills in everyday settings.
