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!

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.

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.
Ginger has been the best! She’s attentive and caring, and regularly checks in before each session. She has exceptionally helped me navigate my concerns. I highly highly recommend Ginger.
