About Gina
Gina Pate-Terry uses thoughtful, person-centered care to help people facing hard moments. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and she brings 19 years of experience to conversations about stress, anxiety, grief, addiction, and depression. Her approach is respectful and compassionate.
She focuses on what each person needs in their daily life. In sessions Gina listens for the problems causing the most pain right now. She helps people name patterns that get in the way of feeling better.
Background and approach
Together they set clear, doable goals and try practical steps between meetings. This includes coping tools for panic, mood changes, and overwhelming stress. Gina also supports people struggling with relationship and intimacy concerns, body image, eating and sleeping problems, and workplace stress.
She works with issues tied to chronic illness, guilt and shame, and major life transitions. She tailors conversation and strategies to the person’s situation rather than using a one-size approach. People who have faced trauma, abuse, or complicated grief can expect steady guidance and a focus on safety and pacing.
Gina pays attention to compassion fatigue and burnout for those in caregiving roles or stressful jobs. She aims to help people rebuild routine, purpose, and self-compassion. Sessions are available through multiple online formats, making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules.
Gina encourages small steps and celebrates progress along the way.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Gina draws on evidence-based techniques that focus on present problems and practical change. One common approach emphasizes learning coping skills for anxiety and panic - it teaches breathing and grounding strategies plus steps to face fears gradually. Another approach centers on mood and behavior patterns for depression - it looks at daily routines, activity scheduling, and small changes that can lift mood.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they choose methods that feel like a good fit and adjust them as progress unfolds.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video visits let people use face-to-face conversation when that helps. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit during a break. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, written reflection, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to schedule regular work on goals while juggling daily life.
