Gia Seutter, LCSW

Gia Seutter is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Oregon with 20 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, and life transitions. Gia also lists blended family issues among her focus areas and can help people navigating stepfamily challenges.

Gia uses clear, conversational conversations rather than jargon. Sessions look like focused talks about what is happening now and what practical steps might help. She draws on approaches that include attachment-based work, client-centered techniques, cognitive behavioral ideas, dialectical skills, and mindfulness practices.

In practice she starts by listening to what matters most to the person sitting with her. Then she and the client map short-term goals and small, doable changes. That might mean learning ways to reduce anxiety, practicing different communication moves, or spotting patterns that recreate old stress.

Gia also supports people dealing with grief, separation, parenting tensions, and the uneven stress of chronic illness or disability. She can help people untangle loyalties, set clearer boundaries, and make day-to-day routines feel more manageable when households merge.

Her style is direct and steady. She works with practical tools drawn from CBT and DBT alongside relationship-focused conversations about attachment and connection. People who want straightforward help sorting family roles and coping with change may find this approach useful.
