About Gina
Gina Sinito is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and an Ohio Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 23 years of clinical experience. She emphasizes a human-centered, client-focused way of working and values honest, straightforward conversations. Gina aims to make it easier to talk about painful things and to find practical steps forward.
Her approach is grounded in client-centered and humanistic values. Gina listens first, then helps people identify what matters most to them.
Background and approach
She uses mindfulness and cognitive behavioral techniques to build skills that reduce anxiety and lift mood. Gina commonly helps people dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy difficulties, and stress from life transitions. She also supports those facing addictions, caregiver strain, body image or eating concerns, and career or identity questions.
Her work can include coping skills, emotion regulation, and practical problem solving. Sessions focus on collaboration and clarity. Gina aims to make sessions feel calm and practical, with steps people can try between meetings.
She draws on dialectical behavior therapy tools when emotions feel overwhelming, and on emotionally focused ideas to strengthen close relationships. Outside of clinical work she enjoys walking, yoga, and meditation, and brings that steady presence into sessions. Gina supports people who want to explore changes in their life and build daily routines that feel more manageable.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Gina uses client-centered methods that put the person’s goals and values at the center of sessions. This approach focuses on empathic listening and helps people clarify what they want to change and why. It is useful for anyone who wants a respectful, collaborative space to work through life decisions or emotional struggles.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and teach clear skills for managing anxiety, low mood, and sleep or eating concerns. CBT offers practical exercises and short-term strategies to change thoughts and behaviors that get in the way of daily functioning. When emotions feel intense, Gina draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) tools to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that can reduce overwhelm.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Gina will talk with each person about needs, goals, and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative process can shift over time as new goals emerge.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual connection, phone calls can fit a short break at work, and messaging can support quick check-ins or ongoing coaching between meetings. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and try multiple ways of staying connected with a licensed professional.
