Gina Dickison , LCPC

Gina Dickison is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 22 years of experience supporting individuals and families through life transitions, relationship challenges, and emotional distress. She holds additional certifications in addictions and employee assistance programming, and has extensive experience working in workplace settings to address communication breakdowns, conflict, work-life balance, and career coaching.

Over the course of her career she has treated anxiety, depression, family and marital concerns, addictions, and stress-related issues, while also developing skills in trauma work, grieving, adoption and parenting challenges. She has trained in EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - and integrates that experience when appropriate to address traumatic memories and processing needs.

Her therapeutic style is warm and compassionate, paired with a directive, solution-focused approach that draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques. She partners with clients to set clear goals and build concrete action plans aimed at practical change. Gina frequently checks messages and makes efforts to accommodate clients' schedules. She is not currently accepting new clients.

Integrating Therapeutic Approaches into Online Care

Gina Dickison draws on several evidence-based approaches to tailor care to each person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing practical skills to change behaviors and reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, making it useful for intense emotions, relationship struggles, and self-management. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relationship patterns formed in early life and helps clients build healthier connections and improve communication in current relationships.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Gina works with clients to clarify goals, preferences, and life circumstances, then adapts techniques from these therapies to fit the individual. That collaboration helps create a plan that feels realistic and aligned with what the client wants to achieve.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people balancing work, family, and other commitments. Sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter check-ins or support can be handled through live chat or text-based messaging. These options allow clients to access licensed professionals and therapists from home or on the go, making consistent care easier to maintain while still focusing on effective, goal-oriented work.
