About Gina

Gina Schwarz is a licensed clinical social worker with 23 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. She works with individuals who are trying to recover from past sexual assault, cope with mood or personality disorders, or rebuild trust after abandonment. Her style is direct and compassionate and aimed at real change.

Gina focuses on practical steps that fit into daily life.

Background and approach

Sessions often look at communication patterns, impulsive reactions, and the habits that keep someone stuck. She helps people notice painful self-talk, practice new ways of relating, and build a stronger sense of self-love and purpose. Her work addresses both immediate symptoms and longer patterns.

That can mean calming anxious days, managing anger, or working through post-traumatic stress rooted in past abuse. She also supports people dealing with body image concerns, guilt and shame, and self-harm urges. Gina draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide each plan.

She collaborates with clients to set clear goals and adjust methods as progress unfolds. Sessions aim to be practical, with tools people can use between meetings. Based in New York, Gina brings decades of clinical experience to each conversation.

She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. Sessions are carried out in English.

Online support

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Gina commonly uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and practical change. One approach helps people learn specific strategies to manage overwhelming anxiety and mood symptoms, such as breathing, grounding, and behavior changes that reduce intensity. Another approach focuses on processing trauma and difficult memories in smaller, manageable steps so clients can slowly reduce distress and regain daily functioning.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Gina works with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they check progress and adjust the plan as needed rather than sticking to a single method.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more nuance is helpful. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief updates, homework, or support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and maintain continuity of care.
