Gina Ferrari

Gina Ferrari is a licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family strain, grief, addiction concerns, and anger. She speaks English and works with clients from Washington and internationally. Gina frames therapy as a shared process and focuses on helping people find practical ways to cope and grow. Gina draws on social work experience gathered over 12 years to help people manage everyday pressures. She often supports people who feel overworked, overwhelmed, or unclear about next steps. Sessions aim to identify personal strengths and build simple tools that fit a client's life and routine. Her style is collaborative and strengths based. Clients are treated as the experts in their own lives while she offers guidance, strategies, and feedback. Gina emphasizes teaching coping skills that can be used between sessions to reduce stress, manage anger, and improve relationships. Gina is comfortable addressing issues like parenting strain, intimacy-related problems, compassion fatigue, and career stress. She also works with people navigating trauma, bipolar symptoms, and identity concerns within the LGBT community. Practical problem solving and step-by-step planning are central to her work. Therapy begins with a short assessment to learn what matters most to each person. From there she tailors an approach to fit goals and daily life. Her aim is to help clients discover inner resources and develop clear, usable skills for lasting change.

How Gina’s approaches translate to online therapy

Gina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical coping and strengths work. One common approach she relies on helps people learn concrete coping skills to manage stress, anger, and overwhelming emotions; sessions involve practicing small steps and homework to build new habits. Another emphasis is on strengths-based work, which helps people identify existing resources and apply them to relationship issues, parenting strain, and career stress. Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Gina will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan based on how things go. Online therapy can make it easier to fit regular sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a lunch break, and make it simpler to meet from different locations.
