Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care Options

Gina Licursi utilizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a structured, goal-oriented approach that helps clients identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and develop practical strategies to change them. CBT is often effective for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns because it focuses on concrete skills and measurable progress.

In addition, Gina incorporates trauma-informed principles in her work, offering a sensitive and paced approach for people affected by trauma and abuse. This means attending to safety, emotional regulation, and empowering the client to guide the pace of healing while addressing symptoms such as post-traumatic stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Gina works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences, and she adjusts strategies over time based on what is helpful.

Online therapy with Gina is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules, mobility limitations, or geographic constraints. These options make it easier to access consistent support and integrate therapeutic work into everyday life.
