About Gina

Gina Todd is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 22 years of experience. She practices in Louisiana and is also licensed in New York. Her work focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, and anger alongside issues like grief, addiction, parenting strain, and relationship challenges.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a core method. In sessions she helps people identify thought patterns that feed anger and distress. She also draws on trauma-informed principles and person-centered ideas to keep conversations grounded and practical.

Gina aims to make therapy straightforward. She talks through real situations - snapping at a partner, frustration at work, sleep problems, or burnout. The emphasis is on clear steps people can try between sessions and realistic ways to reduce recurring tension.

Her background spans work with diverse communities, including LGBTQI people. That experience informs how she notices cultural and life-stage factors that affect mood, coping, and relationships. She respects clients' faith perspectives when that is important to them.

Sessions often focus on small, measurable changes. Gina pairs short-term tools from CBT with attention to past trauma when it’s relevant. The goal is to help people manage anger and other strong feelings so daily life becomes easier to handle.

How sessions work

Using CBT and trauma-aware work online

Gina centers Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her approach. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches small, practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. This can help with anger, anxiety, sleep problems, and mood shifts.

She also applies trauma-informed ideas when past events affect current reactions. That perspective means noticing triggers and pacing work so clients can learn coping skills without becoming overwhelmed. Together the two approaches aim to reduce reactive responses and build problem-solving habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Gina will work with each person to decide which tools make sense based on their goals and daily life. This is a collaborative process that can be adjusted as work proceeds.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Ask about current session options to choose what fits your routine and needs.
