About Gina
Gina Sokolich is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with eight years of clinical experience. She brings practical perspective from a previous career in emergency medical services. Gina aims to meet people where they are and help them make sense of what they are facing.
Gina listens first and follows the client’s lead. She makes space for reflection and also offers gentle challenge when a new viewpoint might help. Sessions focus on clear, doable steps clients can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Her practice covers stress, anxiety, anger, grief, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, sleeping problems, and coping with life changes. Gina also works with people dealing with abandonment, communication problems, codependency, and first responder issues among other focused concerns. Gina commonly uses EMDR, cognitive behavioral therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy, and she adapts techniques to each person.
She offers specific tools such as mindful meditation and stress relief exercises to practice between sessions. People who prefer a direct but compassionate style often fit well with her approach. She aims to help clients gain perspective, try new strategies, and make steady changes over time.
Sessions are offered in English and conducted from her Missouri practice.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify personal values and commit to small actions that match those values. It often suits people feeling stuck, overwhelmed by worry, or unsure about life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and manage anger. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used to work through memories that continue to cause distress and can be helpful for trauma-related symptoms.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Gina will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest methods to try. She adjusts the plan over time based on what is working and what feels manageable for the client.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video suits deeper conversation and guided techniques, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. This range gives flexibility for appointments, practice between sessions, and steady progress without traveling to an office.
