Gina Sokolich , LPC

Gina Sokolich is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who brings a practical, trauma-informed perspective to therapy informed by years of frontline experience. Recently retired from the EMS field, she has first-hand familiarity with the impact of traumatic events across a range of situations and frequently supports first responders coping with work-related stress and PTSD.

She also works with people navigating narcissistic relationships, family challenges, grief, self-esteem concerns, sleep difficulties, anger, and major life changes. Gina takes a client-led approach - meeting each person where they are, offering space to reflect while also gently challenging unhelpful perspectives when helpful. Her style balances empathy with clear, action-oriented strategies so clients can make progress between sessions.

Gina commonly uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and she also incorporates Brainspotting when appropriate. She often suggests practical tools such as mindful meditation and stress-relief techniques to support daily coping. Gina welcomes conversations about life direction as well as more intensive trauma work, and she invites prospective clients to share what they have going on so she can tailor care to their needs.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Gina Sokolich

Gina commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her work - a practical, skills-based approach that helps people identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, stress, sleep difficulties, anger, and day-to-day coping challenges.

She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a trauma-focused method designed to help process distressing memories and reduce the intensity of trauma-related symptoms. EMDR can be a useful option for people who have experienced abuse, accidents, or repeated occupational trauma.

Gina’s client-centered stance means she meets clients where they are, offering empathetic listening while collaborating on goals and treatment choices. Finding the right approach is part of the work together - Gina helps clients explore options and decide what best fits their needs, goals, and preferences.

Online therapy with Gina is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access regular care without travel, support continuity during life transitions, and allow clients to choose the medium that best supports their healing and daily routines.
