About Gina
Gina DeGuzman is a Florida LCSW with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on common concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and life transitions. Gina focuses on practical strategies people can use right away to manage strong emotions and everyday problems.
Her approach centers on straightforward conversation and action. Sessions blend Client-Centered methods with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and solution-focused tools. That means she listens for what matters most, helps identify unhelpful thinking or behavior patterns, and practices small, repeatable changes that reduce reactivity and improve coping.
Gina draws on narrative and motivational techniques to help people rethink difficult stories they hold about themselves. She uses questions and short exercises to clarify goals, strengthen motivation, and spot moments when different choices are possible. These are framed in plain language and short homework tasks when useful.
She has experience supporting people with ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, trauma and abuse histories, workplace stress, and financial anxiety. Communication problems, divorce and separation, and feelings of isolation are also within her focus areas. The work tends to be practical and goal-oriented rather than theoretical.
Sessions are aimed at building skills for anger management, mood regulation, and clearer communication. Gina encourages small steps that fit into everyday life, like brief behavioral experiments, grounding techniques, and ways to reframe difficult thoughts. She asks clients to set realistic goals and tracks progress together.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the client says. Online sessions use that same focus to clarify priorities, reflect what matters most, and guide decisions about next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses exercises to test new ways of thinking. CBT is useful for stress, anxiety, anger, and mood management in short practical steps.Choosing the right approach is part of the early work. Gina collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adapts techniques over time based on what proves helpful in weekly meetings and homework practice.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting sessions into a busy week and keeping momentum between meetings. Because the therapist’s session formats are not specified in the biography, confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to do short check-ins, practice exercises in real-life settings, and follow up on brief tasks between meetings, all of which support steady progress without major schedule changes.
