About Gina

Gina Helms is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Alabama with four years of clinical experience. As an LPC she is credentialed to provide professional counseling services in the state. Her practice addresses a broad spectrum of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and family issues, sleep difficulties, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem struggles, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. She has also worked with clients facing OCD, panic disorder, social phobia, body image issues, co-occurring mental health disorders, PTSD, and survivors of abuse and exploitation.

Her therapeutic approach is rooted in unconditional positive regard, offering a compassionate and non-judgmental space for individuals to share their difficulties. She draws on a range of evidence-informed methods - including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), somatic and mindfulness techniques, and trauma-focused interventions - and adapts those tools to fit each person’s needs. Attachment-based and client-centered principles also inform her work, helping to clarify patterns and strengthen interpersonal connections.

Gina aims to support clients in building healthier, more satisfying lives by tailoring treatment to individual goals and circumstances. She approaches each partnership with empathy and a focus on practical skills and meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to clarify their values and take meaningful action even in the presence of difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, and patterns that get in the way of living a valued life. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns shape current connections and emotional responses, helping clients address abandonment, trust, and bonding issues that affect family and romantic relationships. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and listening so clients can explore their experience and build insight and self-direction; it is especially useful for strengthening self-esteem and navigating life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Gina works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time as progress unfolds. Licensed professionals often combine elements from different approaches to match the unique situation of the client.

Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing people to access care from home or other convenient locations. These formats can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, maintain continuity during life changes, and choose the mode of communication that feels most comfortable.
