Gina Sinito, LMHC, LPCC

Gina Sinito is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with 23 years of practice. She works from a humanistic, client-centered stance and emphasizes empathy and authenticity. Gina recognizes that reaching out for help can feel hard and aims to make the process manageable and respectful.

Her work often focuses on anxiety and depression, and she uses mindfulness and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) tools to help people cope. She also supports people facing life transitions such as divorce, grief, major illness, career change, and postpartum adjustment. Gina pays attention to the whole person, not just symptoms.

Sessions are conversational and practical. She listens first, then helps clients identify patterns of thought and behavior that get in the way. Together they try small, doable steps to reduce stress and improve daily functioning. Mindfulness practices and skills for emotion regulation are commonly used.

Gina also addresses addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting stress, self-esteem, and career concerns. Additional areas of focus include caregiver stress, blended family challenges, body image, and end-of-life or hospice related concerns. Her experience includes working with mood disorders and coping after traumatic events.

She lives in Ohio and offers help in English. Outside work she values family time, walking, yoga, and a daily meditation practice. Gina aims to create a respectful space where people can explore changes and build coping skills.

Approaches that guide online sessions

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety and mood problems. It often includes short exercises and homework to practice new ways of thinking between sessions.

Client-centered therapy focuses on a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship. The therapist listens closely and helps clients find their own solutions and build self-acceptance. This approach supports people coping with life changes and relational stress.

DBT, dialectical behavior therapy, teaches clear skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. It emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and mindful awareness, which can help with impulsive behaviors and intense feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gina will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and lifestyle. Together they will try approaches and adjust based on what helps most.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit daily life. Video is useful for deep conversation and skill practice, phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat and texting suit brief check-ins or those who prefer typing. These options offer flexibility for busy schedules, caregivers, and people who travel.
