Gina DeGuzman

Gina DeGuzman is a licensed clinical social worker with 12 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and career concerns. She offers straightforward, practical support for common struggles like low self-esteem, relationship friction, parenting strain, ADHD, and recovery from trauma and abuse.

Gina keeps sessions focused on real-life tools. She listens and helps people name what feels off, set clear goals, and try small changes that add up. Her style is warm and interactive, with an emphasis on skills you can use between meetings.

Her background as a social worker shaped a broad view of how life circumstances affect mental health. That perspective informs how she approaches issues like workplace stress, money worries, and multicultural concerns. Gina aims to help people find balance and purpose while managing mood and energy.

In sessions she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to address thoughts and feelings that get in the way. She also uses Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy tools when they fit the situation. These methods are applied in simple, practical ways rather than technical jargon.

Gina works in Florida as an LCSW - licensed clinical social worker - and conducts work in English. She helps people build coping strategies for life changes such as divorce or career transitions, and supports those navigating isolation, anger, and issues tied to family dynamics.

How Gina’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person's pace. It helps people feel heard, clarify goals, and make choices that fit their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and offers simple exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Gina will help clients pick methods based on current needs and goals, and adjust the plan as progress is made. The process is collaborative - clients give feedback and try techniques between meetings to see what helps most.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow check-ins during life transitions or work breaks. It also makes it possible to use worksheets, thought records, and brief coaching-style conversations that support goal-focused work without requiring longer in-person visits.
