About Gina

Gina Dickison is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 22 years of experience supporting people through life transitions, loss, relationship challenges, and addiction. As an LCPC she holds professional clinical counseling licensure and brings a steady, experienced presence to work with clients across a wide range of concerns.

She is certified in addictions counseling and in employee assistance program work, and has extensive experience in workplace settings addressing communication, conflict, work-life balance, and career coaching. Her clinical practice includes treatment for anxiety, depression, family and marital concerns, stress management, and addiction-related issues, delivered with practical strategies and clear direction.

Gina has also developed skills in addressing trauma and grief, including experience with EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), and she works with adoption and parenting issues. Her approach is warm and compassionate while remaining directive and solution-focused, drawing on techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). She partners with clients to set goals and create action plans aimed at meaningful change. Gina frequently checks messages and makes efforts to accommodate clients by working around their schedules.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Gina Dickison

Gina draws on several evidence-informed approaches to guide online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress while building practical coping skills. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress, which can be especially helpful for strong emotional reactions and relationship difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns, helping clients understand and change how they relate to others, which can aid work on relationship issues, abandonment concerns, or parenting challenges.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Gina works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so the plan remains focused on what the client hopes to achieve.

Online therapy with Gina is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to attend sessions from home or work, maintain continuity of care through life changes, and access regular support in ways that suit each person’s routine.
