Gina Sokolich , LPC

Gina Sokolich is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who brings a practical, experience-informed perspective to therapy. She recently retired from the EMS field and draws on that background to support people who have endured trauma in a variety of settings. Her practice often includes work with individuals in narcissistic relationships and first responders coping with PTSD or other work-related difficulties.

Gina also helps clients who are facing less acute challenges, such as questions about life direction or the need for clearer perspective. She follows a client-led approach, meeting people where they are and offering space to reflect while also gently challenging unhelpful patterns of thinking. In therapeutic work she commonly uses EMDR and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, along with Brainspotting techniques, and discusses practical strategies clients can use between sessions.

She may introduce mindful meditation and stress-relief practices as appropriate, tailoring recommendations to each person. Gina invites prospective clients to share what they are experiencing so she can collaborate with them on next steps toward greater clarity and coping.

Approaches for Online Care and Therapeutic Work

Gina often integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR alongside a client-centered stance to support online clients. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, stress, and sleep disruption and improve day-to-day coping. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused approach that works with how distressing memories are stored in the brain and can be helpful for those processing traumatic experiences or work-related trauma. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a collaborative, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist follows the client's lead, offering empathy and support while helping explore values and life direction.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Gina collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These options make it possible to access therapy from home or work, schedule sessions around busy lives, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for addressing stress, relationships, trauma, sleep issues, and life transitions.
