Background and approach
She addresses addictions, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related issues with clear, goal-oriented steps. Sleep problems, anger, and career stress are approached through skills that can be practiced between sessions. Parents who feel overwhelmed can get help with parenting strain and the repetitive stresses that wear people down.
She also offers support for people in LGBT communities and those dealing with relationship and family conflict. Gina pays attention to compassion fatigue and burnout that come from caregiving or demanding jobs. Her work emphasizes small, achievable changes.
Sessions often include thinking tools, behavioral experiments, and homework that fits the client’s life. Gina adapts plans to match each person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. Gina Todd, LCSW, aims to make therapy understandable and doable.
She encourages taking the first step and works collaboratively to set practical goals. Her approach is steady, pragmatic, and focused on real-life results.
CBT-focused care and flexible online options
Gina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change patterns of thinking that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them with small experiments, and building new habits that reduce distress. This method often helps with sleep problems, anger, and coping with life changes by giving concrete steps to try between sessions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Gina will work together with each person to choose strategies that fit their goals, values, and daily life. She tailors plans so the work feels manageable and relevant rather than theoretical.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, while phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can suit quick check-ins, brief skill practice, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting, and other responsibilities, and provide multiple ways to stay connected between appointments.
