About Gina

Gina Todd is a licensed clinical social worker with 22 years of experience who centers her work on practical, evidence-informed strategies.

Background and approach

She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete skills for managing symptoms such as anxiety, depression, stress, and sleep difficulties. Gina adapts treatment plans to each person’s needs and draws on a variety of complementary methods to address trauma, relationship concerns, grief, and addictive behaviors.

Her practice emphasizes a collaborative, person-focused approach that integrates elements from trauma-informed and faith-informed perspectives when appropriate. Gina also attends to challenges like parenting stress, anger, career pressures, compassion fatigue, intimacy issues, and self-esteem, offering tools to build coping capacity and improve daily functioning.

She works with clients in Louisiana and brings two decades of clinical experience to each treatment plan, encouraging clients to view change as a skill that can be learned and strengthened over time.

Applying CBT and Trauma-Aware Care Online

Gina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach teaches practical coping skills for issues such as anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress-related symptoms. She also integrates trauma-informed perspectives that prioritize safety and pacing when addressing traumatic memories and related symptoms, offering strategies to manage triggers and build resilience.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist collaborates with each client to tailor methods and session pace based on presenting concerns, personal goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time to find what feels most effective and manageable.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for varied schedules and needs.
