About Gina
Gina Clemente is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with six years of experience. She works with adults who are managing anxiety, depression, relationship stress, substance concerns, and major life changes. Gina also supports people dealing with grief, workplace strain, issues around intimacy and self-esteem, and family of origin matters.
Gina trained at California State University, Fullerton, earning a master’s degree in counseling in 2017. In session she combines ideas from psychodynamic thinking, cognitive-behavioral approaches, and humanistic perspectives. That mix is used to notice recurring patterns, try new ways of reacting, and deepen understanding of current difficulties.
Sessions are conversational and straightforward. Gina listens for how family roles, attachment experiences, or past losses show up now. From there she helps people name patterns, practice different responses, and address practical concerns like managing anxiety or substance use triggers.
She pays particular attention to issues of abandonment, attachment, communication problems, and isolation or loneliness. Gina also works with people facing career stress, compassion fatigue, and concerns common to young adults and women.
Gina offers a calm, patient manner and a collaborative process. She asks questions, reflects what she hears, and suggests strategies that can be practiced between sessions. To begin she invites prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment.
Approaches used in remote sessions and how they help
Gina draws on psychodynamic ideas to help people see how early family roles and attachment patterns influence current relationships and behavior. This approach focuses on noticing repeated themes and understanding where they come from, which can be useful for family of origin concerns and attachment issues.She also uses cognitive-behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes. These techniques often help with anxiety, low mood, substance-related triggers, and learning new coping skills that can be practiced between meetings.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Gina will talk with each person about symptoms, goals, and personal preferences and then recommend which methods to emphasize. That plan can shift over time as needs change and progress is reviewed together.
If you are considering remote work, confirm the specific session formats available before booking. The main practical benefit of working with a licensed professional online is fitting sessions into a busy life - it can make it easier to keep appointments around work, caregiving, or school commitments. Online sessions can also allow a shorter check-in when time is limited, or avoid the need to travel to an office, while still covering the same therapeutic topics as in-person work.
