About Gina
Gina Marqua uses an approach grounded in attachment work and practical therapies to help people facing trauma, addiction, and major life changes. She is a licensed clinical social worker who brings ten years of experience to sessions in Tennessee. Gina aims to create a calm space where people can talk about painful memories, relationship strain, or persistent mood symptoms without feeling rushed.
Gina focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, and problems tied to addiction.
Background and approach
She also supports those coping with grief, anger, and the fallout from abuse or abandonment. Clients who deal with chronic illness, first responder stress, or family problems can expect straightforward strategies to ease daily strain. Her practice pulls together attachment-based work, cognitive behavioral tools, and elements of dialectical behavior therapy and EMDR when appropriate.
That means exploring how early relationships shape current patterns, learning concrete skills to change thinking and behavior, and using trauma-focused methods to reduce distress from past events. Gina describes her style as warm and direct. She helps people build coping skills, process guilt and shame, and make clearer choices around relationships and substance use.
Sessions move at a pace set by the client and often include homework or skill practice between meetings. She holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, LCSW, and maintains licenses in Tennessee and Indiana. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used to connect people to care.
How Gina’s approaches work online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can use this work to uncover recurring relationship reactions and rebuild healthier ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by practicing specific techniques between sessions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a trauma-focused method that helps reduce distress linked to past events through guided processing when appropriate.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Gina will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals, and comfort level. Treatment plans are adjusted over time so the work remains relevant and practical for everyday life.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth work and skill practice, phone sessions can fit into a busy day or when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text can support brief check-ins or skill reminders between sessions. These formats offer flexibility to keep therapy consistent around work, school, or caregiving demands.
