About Gina
Gina Sokolich is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with eight years of clinical experience. She draws on her prior career in emergency medical services to inform her work with trauma and stress. Gina helps people facing anxiety, relationship problems, grief, sleep issues, anger, and major life changes, and she lists blended family issues among her focus areas.
Her style is client-centered and practical. She listens for what matters most and then offers ways to reframe problems. Conversations can include gentle challenge as well as time to reflect. Gina often suggests exercises to try between sessions to keep progress moving.
Her work commonly includes cognitive behavioral techniques and elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to address thoughts and behaviors. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and mentions Brainspotting, for processing traumatic memories. These approaches are used to reduce symptoms and to change how people respond to stressors.
Gina is familiar with first responder issues and with relationships involving narcissistic behavior. She supports people who want clearer boundaries, improved communication, or help navigating blended household dynamics. She discusses practical steps for daily living, sleep routines, and stress relief.
Sessions focus on what the individual wants to change now. Gina explains options, offers skills to practice, and checks in on what is working. If you want concrete strategies and an informed perspective on trauma or life transitions, she can outline next steps and what to expect.
Therapeutic approaches you may use in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It focuses on increasing psychological flexibility and can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It breaks problems into manageable steps and includes practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns and improve sleep, mood, or coping skills.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a method some therapists use to process traumatic memories and reduce their intensity. It involves guided attention shifts while recalling disturbing material and is often combined with other strategies to support recovery.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences and will suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and may shift as needs change.
