About Gina

Dr. Gina Scarano-Osika is a warm, inviting clinical psychologist based in New York with 25 years of professional experience. She combines careful diagnostic assessment with a relational, skills-based approach to therapy, drawing on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and relational training she completed at Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester. This blend of approaches informs her focus on practical skills, emotional regulation, and the quality of interpersonal connections.

Early in her career she and her husband founded a private practice, which began with two providers and has grown over two decades to include a larger multidisciplinary team of 15 clinicians. That growth reflects a long-term commitment to offering varied therapeutic perspectives within a community practice.

Integrative Approaches and Online Care

Dr. Gina Scarano-Osika draws on evidence-based approaches tailored to each person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with daily stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships, and is often useful for intense emotions and impulsive behaviors. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns formed early in life and how they affect current relationships, helping with intimacy, abandonment concerns, and family dynamics.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Scarano-Osika collaborates with clients to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect with licensed professionals. Video calls allow for face-to-face interaction when meeting in person is difficult, phone sessions provide a convenient alternative, and live chat or text-based messaging can support ongoing reflection and check-ins between sessions. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while accommodating busy schedules and geographic constraints.
