Gina Mumey, LCSW

Gina Mumey works with adults across the age spectrum, supporting people who are coping with sudden life changes as well as those managing severe and persistent mental illness. She meets each person where they are, offering whatever level of support feels most helpful - from active listening and being a sounding board to partnering on a clear plan toward recovery. Gina prefers that clients name their goals and then collaborates to design a path to reach them.

Her background includes a degree in Gerontology and special training in Advanced Behaviors and Cognitive Care, which informs her work with people who have a dementia diagnosis and with their loved ones. She has significant experience leading grief support groups and helping people navigate losses of many kinds. Gina uses a strengths-based perspective that acknowledges each person’s resilience and builds on healthier coping strategies when older patterns no longer serve them. She helps clients replace unhelpful habits such as smoking, drinking, or overeating with healthier alternatives when that aligns with their goals.

Gina is a LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker), a credential that indicates training and experience in clinical social work and mental health treatment. She offers focused, attentive care to better understand what clients are experiencing and what they hope to achieve, and she looks forward to supporting people as they work toward a more rewarding and fulfilling life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Gina uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify their values and take committed steps toward the life they want. ACT combines acceptance strategies with behavior change techniques and can be useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and managing difficult emotions.

She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, an approach that prioritizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration so clients feel heard and respected as they explore goals and choices. This approach supports a wide range of concerns, from relationship and family issues to life transitions. Mindfulness Therapy is another key element in her work, offering simple attention and breathing practices that help people become more aware of thoughts and bodily experiences and respond with greater calm and focus.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Gina works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress and circumstances evolve. Online therapy provides practical flexibility - sessions can happen by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy lives, maintain continuity during transitions, and access licensed professionals from different locations.
