About Gesina

Gesina Charles is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Virginia with over four years of clinical experience.

Her approach is grounded in respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and she adapts conversations and treatment plans to fit each person's specific needs. Gesina emphasizes practical skills and collaborative planning so that work in therapy aligns with a person's goals and circumstances.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Gesina Charles uses a blend of evidence-informed approaches tailored to each person's needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the person's own perspective guides the work; this approach helps with self-esteem, motivation, and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) explores the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to manage anxiety, stress, and depressive symptoms by changing unhelpful thinking patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for managing strong emotions and reducing reactive behaviors.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Gesina works collaboratively with each person to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, adjusting methods over time to fit changing needs.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility and easier access to ongoing care. These formats make it possible to schedule appointments around daily life, maintain continuity when routines shift, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
