Dr. Gina Gonzalezreyna, LMFT

Dr. Gina Gonzalezreyna is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in California. She speaks English and Spanish and brings 25 years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship difficulties. She aims to make the first steps feel manageable and to support steady progress over time.

She uses practical, conversational techniques in sessions and often brings a light touch when appropriate. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the approaches she uses to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. She also draws on attachment-based and client-centered ideas to focus on relationships and personal strengths.

Dr. Gonzalezreyna emphasizes regular weekly sessions, whether by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging, to build momentum and create predictable time for change. She asks clients to allow 24 hours for responses to texts and messages outside sessions. Her goal is to increase self-awareness, motivation, and confidence through steady work together.

Her background includes longtime clinical practice working with challenges such as parenting and preparing for parenthood, postpartum depression, trauma and abuse, sleep difficulties, anger, and issues tied to family of origin. She also supports people dealing with abandonment and attachment concerns, codependency, and communication problems.

People who choose her can expect a collaborative approach. She listens for each person's story and helps them find practical steps forward. The work focuses on building skills and noticing small, meaningful changes over weeks and months.

How her approaches translate to online care

Dr. Gonzalezreyna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT breaks problems into clear, manageable steps and is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep troubles, and anger.

She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. This approach helps people understand trust, closeness, and communication so they can build more secure connections. Client-Centered Therapy is part of her style too, which means sessions focus on the client's experience and personal goals rather than a fixed script.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and comfort level, and adjust as progress is made. The plan can change as new insights emerge.

Online therapy with her can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging. Video sessions are useful for more in-depth work and visual connection. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a break at work. Live chat or text messaging allow brief check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep regular weekly appointments and stay consistent with treatment.
