Gina Licursi, LISW

Gina Licursi is a licensed independent social worker who helps people struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and related concerns. She writes and talks plainly, and focuses on practical steps that make day-to-day life easier. People often seek her out when they need tools to manage strong emotions or to recover from past harm.

Gina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a short-term approach that links thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. She helps clients notice unhelpful thinking patterns and test new ways of coping. Sessions emphasize simple exercises and actions that can be used between meetings.

Gina brings eight years of professional experience in social work. She aims to create a warm, accepting, and non-judgmental atmosphere where people feel safe to speak honestly. Her style is straightforward and respectful, with an eye toward practical change.

Gina also supports people facing parenting stress, self-esteem struggles, addiction concerns, and life transitions. She has focused experience with domestic violence, post-traumatic stress, and sexual assault and abuse, and tailors her approach to each person's needs.

Sessions are offered in English and take place through remote formats. Gina encourages collaboration - clients set goals and she suggests tools and homework that fit daily routines.

How Gina uses CBT online and what to expect

Gina primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people spot patterns in their thinking that increase anxiety or low mood and then practice different, more helpful responses. CBT often involves short exercises, goal setting, and homework tasks that are easy to use between sessions.

Her approach is collaborative. She will work with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and daily routines, and she adjusts plans if something does not fit. Finding the right method is part of the work together rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skills practice, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in, and chat or text messaging can help people fit support into a busy day. These options make it easier to attend regularly and to use the tools learned in therapy within real-life situations.
