About Gina
Gina Young is a licensed master social worker (LMSW) with 17 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical help for everyday problems, including anger, stress, anxiety, and depression. Gina aims to make the first step feel manageable for people who are unsure where to begin.
Gina uses an open, nonjudgmental approach in sessions. She creates time for people to say what they are feeling and thinking. Conversations are straightforward and focused on concrete steps that can reduce distress and build confidence.
Background and approach
She helps people work through family conflict and parenting strain by improving communication and setting realistic expectations. Gina also supports those facing career stress, life changes, and compassion fatigue with problem-solving and planning. She brings attention to patterns that contribute to low self-esteem, isolation, and relationship problems.
For concerns tied to addiction, bipolar mood challenges, trauma, or grief, Gina offers steady, practical support and helps clients identify coping strategies that fit their daily life. She also addresses intimacy-related issues, social anxiety, and questions of life purpose and self-love. Sessions are offered in English and she practices in Michigan.

Evidence-based techniques and online support
Gina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skill building and problem solving. One approach helps people identify unhelpful thinking and try different, more balanced ways of thinking to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Another approach emphasizes learning coping skills and step-by-step behavior changes to manage anger, stress, and daily demands. These techniques are aimed at real-life problems like communication breakdowns, relationship strain, and managing strong emotions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Gina will discuss methods, listen to personal goals, and choose strategies that match each person's needs and preferences. The process is collaborative and flexible, with regular check-ins about what's helping and what needs to change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different routines. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper discussion. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and messaging offer shorter, more frequent touchpoints and can fit around work or family schedules. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing daily life.
