About Gina
Dr. Gina Gonzalezreyna is a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 25 years of clinical experience. She works in English and Spanish and helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, anger, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, grief, depression, sleep problems, and life transitions.
She frames therapy around what a person already knows about themselves. Sessions focus on increasing self-awareness, strengthening inner resources, and building everyday skills to manage intense feelings. Conversations are direct and practical. Humor and straightforward feedback are used when helpful to keep work to the point.
Her approach draws from attachment-based ideas, client-centered listening, and cognitive behavioral techniques. Those methods are used to look at patterns in relationships, unhelpful thinking, and reactions to stress. Motivational interviewing and narrative work are also part of how she helps people rethink difficult stories about themselves.
Dr. Gonzalezreyna has experience with trauma and abuse, postpartum and pregnancy-related concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome, codependency, family of origin issues, and issues around commitment and communication. She supports people dealing with abandonment, shame and guilt, somatic symptoms, and the transitions of young adulthood.
She recommends keeping a weekly appointment when possible and aims for consistent scheduling. The first step is completing a short matching questionnaire and then booking an initial session to set goals and plan next steps.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Dr. Gonzalezreyna blends attachment-based work, client-centered listening, and cognitive behavioral techniques in online sessions. Attachment-based work looks at how past relationships shape reactions today and helps people change interaction patterns. Client-centered listening focuses on understanding a person's experience and priorities, letting them steer which issues to address. Cognitive behavioral techniques target unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teach concrete skills to manage anger and anxiety.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the first sessions. She collaborates with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and what feels most useful. That plan can change as progress is made and new challenges appear.
The original biography mentions keeping a weekly standing appointment and using live chat, phone call, or video sessions. Please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and let people choose whether to use video or audio based on what helps them focus. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and discussion to work across these formats.
