About Gina
Gina Todd is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 22 years of experience based in Louisiana. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief, and anger. Gina also addresses addictions, relationship and intimacy difficulties, sleep problems, parenting strain, career stress, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
Gina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a primary approach. In sessions she helps people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, then practices new ways of reacting. She describes therapy in practical terms and focuses on skills people can use between sessions.
Her background includes long clinical practice across different communities and a mix of approaches in her work. That experience informs clear, direct conversation about what is causing distress and what changes might help. Sessions typically involve setting concrete goals and trying small, measurable steps toward them.
Gina aims to make the work straightforward. She listens to what is most pressing and recommends techniques from CBT to change patterns of thinking or behavior. She also brings sensitivity to trauma, faith-informed perspectives, and person-centered listening when those are relevant.
If someone is struggling with anger - losing their temper, building resentment, or living with someone else’s anger - Gina helps them identify triggers and test new responses. The focus is on practical change rather than labels or blame.
To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How CBT and practical therapy work well online
CBT focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In plain terms, it helps people spot patterns of thinking that fuel anger or anxiety and then try different reactions. It is useful for problems like irritability, workplace frustration, sleep disruption, and low mood. Gina also integrates trauma-aware ways of working and person-centered listening when needed. Trauma-aware work pays attention to how past events affect current responses and builds pacing and safety into techniques. Person-centered listening means the therapist listens closely and follows the client’s priorities while offering practical suggestions. Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with the person to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. That may include practicing new coping steps between sessions and adjusting strategies as progress is reviewed. Session logistics should be checked before booking because the profile does not list specific formats. Confirm which formats are offered and how they fit into your schedule. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and avoid travel time so people can focus on practicing skills rather than commuting.Areas of expertise
