About Gina
Dr. Gina Ligonde is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with 26 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. She works with people who are managing day-to-day pressures alongside longer-term struggles such as chronic illness or caregiving demands.
Her practice approach centers on respectful, sensitive conversation. She listens to what matters most and shapes sessions around those priorities. The therapist aims to make discussions direct and practical so people can apply what they talk about between appointments.
Over her career she has helped clients address caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, and workplace strain. She also assists with communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, and feelings of guilt or shame. These are handled with straightforward strategies and clear goal-setting rather than abstract theory.
Her work includes supporting people facing isolation, life-purpose questions, midlife transitions, and financial stress. Panic attacks and panic disorder are listed among her clinical concerns, and she helps clients develop ways to manage acute symptoms when they arise.
Sessions are offered in English and reflect her years of practice in New York. Prospective clients are asked to use the site’s See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session to begin the process.
BHow sessions work
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Dr. Gina Ligonde lists evidence-based therapeutic techniques as the foundation of her work. In practice this means using structured, goal-focused conversations to address symptoms and daily problems. For example, brief skills training can teach breathing and grounding steps for panic attacks and anxiety. These are short, practical exercises clients can use when symptoms arise.She also emphasizes problem-solving methods for life stressors like caregiving, workplace strain, or financial worries. That involves breaking a larger problem into manageable steps, testing solutions between sessions, and reviewing what worked. For relationship and communication issues the focus is on clear behavioral changes and practicing different ways of speaking and listening in real situations.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify what seems most helpful based on current needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process may shift the approach over time as goals change.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which options are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, aim for shorter check-ins when time is tight, or avoid travel when managing health or caregiving duties. Licensed professionals can adapt session length and focus to match practical constraints while still working toward clear goals.
