About Gina
Gina Sinito is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who has practiced for 23 years. She works from a humanistic, client-centered place and helps people who are worried about anxiety, depression, life transitions, and similar struggles. She often combines mindfulness and evidence-based techniques to help people manage symptoms and move forward.
Gina focuses on creating an open, empathic space where clients can speak honestly. She emphasizes being authentic and helps people reconnect with what matters to them.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and practical, with attention to what a person needs day to day. Her approach blends client-centered listening with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness skills. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused ideas when they fit a person's goals.
These tools are used to reduce intense emotions, shift unhelpful thoughts, and build coping skills. Gina has experience helping people cope with divorce, loss, career changes, postpartum challenges, family stress, and low self-esteem. She also supports work on addictions, grief, intimacy concerns, and caregiver strain.
Her style is calm, straightforward, and focused on practical steps clients can try between sessions. Outside of therapy, she values meditation, walking, and yoga, and spends time with her family, a cat, and a dog. Gina works in Ohio and brings decades of clinical experience to conversations about mood, stress, and life purpose.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and acceptance to help people clarify values and make changes. It supports those who feel stuck or disconnected by offering steady, empathic conversation that centers the person's goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It uses simple exercises and experiments to change unhelpful thinking and reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. It can be helpful when someone needs tools for distress tolerance and emotional regulation.
Gina will work collaboratively to find the best fit among these approaches. She talks with each person about goals, preferences, and daily life to decide which methods to use. Adjustments are made as therapy progresses so the plan stays relevant.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls let people have a face-to-face conversation without travel. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support short updates, coaching between sessions, or people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy days.
