About Gina
Gina Licursi is an Ohio Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) with eight years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and depression. Gina also supports those dealing with addictions, LGBT concerns, parenting strain, self-esteem problems, and life changes.
Her sessions focus on clear, practical steps. She listens to what clients want to change and identifies patterns that keep problems going. Conversations look at thoughts, behaviors, and small experiments to test new ways of coping. Gina uses straightforward tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to break down worries into manageable parts.
Gina draws on repeated practice and measurable goals. She helps people notice unhelpful thinking, try alternate responses, and track what works. When trauma or domestic violence is involved, she pays attention to safety, pacing, and the specific impacts of those experiences.
She describes her role as collaborative. Clients and Gina set short-term targets, review progress, and adjust steps as needed. Sessions emphasize clear homework, skill-building, and practical strategies that can be used between meetings.
Gina works in Ohio and offers sessions in English. People who want to begin fill out a short matching questionnaire and schedule their first session. The payment model uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How CBT-based approaches translate to online work
Gina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot patterns in thought and behavior and then try practical changes. CBT breaks problems into clear parts - thoughts, feelings, and actions - so clients can test small changes and track results over time. This approach often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching concrete skills to manage symptoms.When trauma or abuse is a focus, the work moves at a careful pace and centers on safety and stabilization. In those cases, sessions may concentrate on grounding skills, coping strategies, and step-by-step exposure or processing when it fits the person's goals and readiness.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Gina works collaboratively to choose techniques that match a person's goals and daily life. She reviews progress regularly and adjusts the plan based on what helps most.
