About Gina
Her therapeutic practice blends cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy with relational and attachment-informed techniques. She received relational therapy training at Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester, and she has found that combining these three approaches often produces the most meaningful progress for many concerns. This integrative stance guides treatment planning and day-to-day clinical work.
Dr. Scarano-Osika and her husband founded a private practice two decades ago, and the practice has grown from two providers to a team of fifteen. That growth reflects a sustained commitment to providing a range of services and collaborating with colleagues to meet diverse client needs. She applies both clinical expertise and practical experience running a multi-provider practice to her work.
She does not feel proficient in gender dysphoria or LGBQ concerns and prefers to refer when those issues are primary. Dr. Scarano-Osika recognizes that beginning therapy can be a challenging step and offers praise for anyone who takes that step toward seeking help.
Attachment, CBT, DBT in Online Therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape emotional patterns and interpersonal expectations. It can be especially helpful for relationship difficulties, attachment issues, abandonment concerns, and blended family challenges by exploring and strengthening relational bonds. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and eating or sleep problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved communication, making it useful for intense emotions, anger, self-harm tendencies, and difficulties with impulse control.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Dr. Scarano-Osika collaborates with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and to determine whether attachment-focused work, CBT tools, DBT skills, or a combination will best support progress. This collaborative process helps tailor treatment to the individual.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls or phone sessions, and live chat or text-based messaging can be used when that format better fits daily life. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit therapy into a busy routine, and access licensed professionals from different locations.
