More about Ginger
- 11 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I am a fully licensed professional counselor in the state of Michigan. My experience has been predominantly with men and women struggling with substance abuse and addiction. I have tried many theoretical orientations over the years. Currently, however, I am pursuing certification in biblical Christian counseling, which draws exclusively from biblical information and principles. I have found that this is by far the most effective approach when an individual is looking to make authentic change. And believe me, I have looked! Thanks!

About online counseling

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.

I was so lucky that they selected Ginger for me. I have never found anyone before that was totally on my wave length. She listened to me with an open mind and understood what I needed. She is very professional , supportive and can laugh with me. I appreciate her so much. Thank you Ginger.
