About Gina
Gina DeGuzman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 12 years of experience. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, parenting pressures, relationship strain, and the fallout from trauma and abuse.
Gina uses practical tools in sessions. She focuses on building coping skills, managing mood and stress, and improving communication. Sessions often look at everyday problems like money worries, workplace strain, and the emotional side of life changes.
Her work draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new responses. She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help clarify goals and Solution-Focused and Narrative approaches to highlight strengths and new meanings people can adopt.
Gina describes an interactive style. Conversations aim to be straightforward and goal-oriented, with concrete steps to try between meetings. She helps people break big problems into smaller, manageable tasks and tracks progress over time.
Before becoming an LCSW she spent years helping people in community settings and with diverse backgrounds. That experience shapes a practical focus on real-life results, such as better sleep, clearer boundaries, improved communication, and more reliable coping routines for daily stress.
BHow sessions work
Approaches used in virtual sessions and practical fit
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It helps clarify concerns and priorities so goals are clear and grounded in everyday life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going. It uses simple exercises and experiments to shift thinking patterns that feed anxiety and low mood.
Motivational Interviewing helps people sort out mixed feelings and find their own reasons to change. It is useful when someone wants help making a plan or sticking with a new routine.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and how they respond in early sessions. Decisions about techniques are practical and adjusted over time.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around work, school, or childcare. It can also allow shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, and reduce interruptions to the day while keeping the focus on skill practice and problem solving.
