Gina is awesome, she listens and gives good advice, tries to understand the situation. She’s very easy to talk to. She’s even reached out to ask how things were going when I didn’t reschedule for awhile. Can’t wait to video chat her Tuesday :)

- LCSW, LISW
I am a licensed clinical social worker in Illinois with 11 years of professional work experience as a school social worker working with children and adolescents from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. However, I have a total of 29 years experience working with adults and children in a variety of settings. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, motivation, self esteem, and confidence, & depression. My treatment style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My office is a safe space where clients can be themselves. If you ask my students, they will say I am easy to talk to. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Gina is kind, caring, attentive, and fun to talk to. Everything you could want in a therapist :)
She’s always been super helpful towards me, always understanding of all of my problems. She’s helped me a lot and my family thinks so too. It’s great to have someone to talk to and open up to since I struggle so hard with it. But I trust her and I trust telling her things, she helps me better myself and find solutions to problems I struggle with like overthinking. She’s overall really great, really sweet, and always so helpful and understanding no matter the situation.
Gina is great! Love having a forum where i can share without worrying about judgment.
Gina has been an absolutely amazing therapist. I wasn’t excited about therapy, but she has made me feel comfortable and I’m so thankful that I have her. BetterHelp makes the process easy and I’m very glad I’m doing it and that Gina is on this journey with me.
