About Gina
Gina Batliner is a licensed professional counselor practicing in Oregon with 25 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood challenges, trauma and family-related concerns. Her manner is calm and direct, aimed at making therapy feel manageable and practical for everyday life.
Gina uses several therapeutic styles to match each person's needs. She blends cognitive behavioral techniques with acceptance and commitment ideas to help people notice unhelpful patterns and take steps that match their values.
Background and approach
Attachment-based work helps when relationships and early experiences shape current struggles. Sessions are collaborative and goal oriented. Gina helps clients develop skills for emotion regulation, practical routines, and clearer communication in relationships.
Motivational interviewing is used when people feel stuck and need to find what matters enough to change. Over her career she has supported people facing trauma and mood disorders, helping them build resilience and steadier daily functioning. She explains concepts in plain language and breaks skills into small, doable steps.
That approach makes progress easier to see between sessions. Gina offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
She provides care in English and practices under an Oregon LPC license.
How Gina’s approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take steps toward those values even when hard thoughts or feelings appear. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and situations where motivation or direction feels unclear. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing behaviors that keep problems going; it often includes practical exercises and homework to build new habits. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns; it can help when conflict or trust issues keep repeating in close relationships.Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Gina will talk with the client about current struggles, goals, and personal preferences. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress or new needs arise. This keeps therapy focused and responsive to what actually helps.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people work face-to-face without travel, while phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief updates, skill practice, and flexible communication between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work even when routines change.
