About Gina

Gina Sinito is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with 23 years of clinical experience practicing in Ohio and Florida.

Background and approach

With a background rooted in humanistic and client-centered principles, she emphasizes empathic understanding and supports clients in exploring who they are and how to live more authentically. Her practice integrates mindfulness and cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients develop practical skills for daily challenges.

Gina most often assists people coping with anxiety and depression and offers support for life transitions such as divorce, grief, major illness, career change, postpartum challenges, and family strain. Her work also addresses a broad range of concerns including stress, addiction, relationship and intimacy issues, self-esteem, parenting, sleep and eating difficulties, and mood disorders.

She frames therapy as a collaborative process and draws on mindfulness practices alongside CBT to help clients manage emotions and build new patterns. Outside of her clinical role she enjoys walking, yoga, and meditation, and values family time with her spouse, adult daughter, cat, and dog.

She welcomes clients who are ready to take steps toward growth and coping with life’s changes.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Gina often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. She also brings a client-centered stance that prioritizes empathic understanding and supporting each person to explore their values and authentic choices. When helpful, she integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness to assist with intense emotions and relationship strain.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Gina works with clients to clarify goals, assess what techniques fit their preferences, and adjust methods over time so that therapy aligns with personal needs and desired outcomes.

Online therapy with her is offered through multiple formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can increase flexibility for scheduling around work, caregiving, or health needs. These options make it possible to continue consistent care from different locations and to use the communication style that feels most comfortable while working toward meaningful change.
