Gina has been an amazing help to me the last few months. In addition to giving me real, actionable ideas to improve my situation, she asks great questions to get me thinking more, checks in periodically when I'm doing well and not in touch much, and has even given me great ideas to deal with our dog's issues! She has been a blessing!
More about Gina
- 30 years' experience

Hi! My name is Gina Bowers. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Pennsylvania and have been working in the field for 30 years. My Counseling degree is from the University of North Carolina- Greensboro.
My work has been with adults and teens, regarding issues of depression, anxiety, stress, LGBT, career changing, ADHD, relationships, divorce, and self-esteem. Sometimes we encounter bumps along the way and my approach is to help you learn how to cope and adjust to them. I was also a Therapeutic Foster parent and worked with children in the Foster Care system. My approach is varied as each person is unique, but tend to use a combination of Behavioral, Mindfulness and Cognitive techniques. I have a laid back and supportive style.
Sometimes we need an unbiased person to share our challenges with and process our thoughts and feelings around these challenging events. I would be honored to be that person for you and help you move toward success in your future goals.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
