Dr. Gina DeArth-Pendley

Dr. Gina DeArth-Pendley helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by anger, stress, anxiety, or big life changes. She writes plainly and listens closely to understand what is most pressing for each person. Dr. DeArth-Pendley is a psychologist in Kentucky with more than 22 years of experience and a Doctor of Philosophy from the University of Notre Dame.

She draws from several practical approaches to shape sessions. Client-centered work focuses on the person’s own goals and values. Cognitive behavioral techniques look at the thoughts and habits that keep problems going. Attachment-based ideas explore how early and current relationships affect emotion and trust.

Dr. DeArth-Pendley has worked across outpatient and inpatient settings, juvenile justice, and alternative schools in multiple states. That experience informs how she helps people manage symptoms like ADHD, depression, bipolar disorder, and addiction, and how she supports those facing relationship strain, parenting stress, or career uncertainty.

In sessions she uses active listening and straightforward tools. She offers concrete strategies for emotion regulation, communication, and impulse control, and helps people build a clearer sense of self and purpose. The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.

How these approaches guide online work

Attachment-based therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape emotional responses and trust. Online work using attachment ideas helps people notice patterns in relationships and practice new ways of relating to others.

Client-centered therapy centers the person’s goals and pace. In remote sessions this means the therapist follows the client’s agenda, offers reflective listening, and supports self-directed change.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches concrete strategies to change them. Online sessions can include skill rehearsal, thought records, and short behavioral experiments between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work together with the person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration can include trying techniques from several approaches and adjusting what’s used over time.

Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can help fit care into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing sessions from different locations during the week, and making shorter check-ins possible when needed. It also makes it easier to combine talking, skill practice, and homework in ways that match day-to-day routines.
