Gina Tillman , LCSW

Gina Tillman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 14 years of experience specializing in trauma therapy and addiction. She has worked across settings including mental health clinics, a private practice, and for multiple years supporting the veteran population, building a breadth of experience with complex clinical presentations and diverse needs.

Gina describes her practice as eclectic, drawing on multiple treatment modalities to tailor care to each person she meets. Her approach is non-judgmental and collaborative, centering the client’s goals and priorities while helping to uncover underlying concerns that can influence day-to-day functioning. She emphasizes practical skills and awareness-building to support healthier coping and sustainable behavioral changes.

In sessions she focuses on helping people develop tools to manage stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma-related symptoms, mood concerns, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. As an LCSW Gina combines clinical knowledge with a client-centered stance so that individuals can work toward meaningful improvements at a pace that fits their values and circumstances.

Therapeutic Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Gina integrates client-centered therapy, which places the individual’s values and goals at the heart of the work and supports people in discovering their own solutions through empathetic listening and collaboration. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns - an approach that can be effective for issues like anxiety, depression, and stress-related difficulties. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships, and can be helpful for intense emotions and interpersonal challenges.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and Gina works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative exploration helps tailor techniques and pacing so progress aligns with the client’s life and priorities.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to access licensed professionals from different locations and schedules. These formats offer flexibility to fit therapy into busy lives, allow continued care during life transitions, and support consistent skill practice between sessions.
