About Ginger
Ginger King is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience helping people manage stress, anger, anxiety, grief, and life transitions. She works with individuals who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to handle relationship and identity concerns. Her style is calm and direct, focused on practical steps people can use between sessions.
In sessions she listens first, then helps clients name patterns that get in the way.
Background and approach
She blends evidence-based tools with a warm, client-centered approach. That means priorities come from the person in the room, not a rigid script. Ginger draws from therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to address emotional pain and behavior changes.
She uses those methods to teach skills for coping, managing intense feelings, and improving communication. She also supports people facing issues like compassion fatigue, career strain, chronic illness, adoption and foster care concerns, and family of origin wounds. Practical strategies are emphasized so clients leave with concrete steps they can try between appointments.
Ginger practices in Wisconsin and offers services in English. She accepts international clients and provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. The overall goal is clearer thinking, steadier mood, and more effective actions.

How Ginger’s approaches work in online sessions
Ginger commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them, then pick actions that match their values. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments to change mood and behavior.She treats the choice of approach as a collaborative process. Early sessions are used to learn what matters to the client, what has or hasn’t worked before, and which methods feel most helpful. Together the client and therapist adjust tools and pacing so therapy fits the person’s goals and life context.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer weekly sessions where visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is low or hands-free conversation works better. Live chat or text messaging can support brief check-ins, coaching-style guidance, or supplemental practice between sessions. These options make it easier to keep consistent work when schedules are tight or travel is involved.
