Gina Marqua, LCSW

Gina Marqua is a licensed clinical social worker who uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people make practical changes in their lives. She offers a calm, steady presence when clients face addiction, trauma, mood shifts, or big life changes. Her style is personal and direct, with clear steps to try between sessions.

Gina has ten years of experience working with people who struggle with anxiety, depression, bipolar mood patterns, and grief. She also helps those coping with relationship strain, intimacy issues, and family problems. Clients bring concerns that range from anger and stress to ADHD and chronic health challenges.

Her approach blends CBT with attachment-based and client-centered methods. That means sessions often focus on understanding patterns, practicing new skills, and building healthier connections with others. She may also use techniques from dialectical behavior therapy and EMDR when appropriate.

Gina brings special attention to addiction recovery, trauma and abuse, and complex family dynamics. She pays close attention to feelings of guilt, shame, and abandonment while helping people develop steady coping tools. First responder issues and problems related to adoption and foster care are part of her experience.

Gina practices in Tennessee and holds LCSW credentials. She works with adults who want practical strategies and steady emotional support. Her goal is to help people move forward with clearer thinking and more reliable daily routines.

How Gina's Approaches Work Online

Gina often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT sessions online typically include homework tasks and skill practice that translate to daily life. Attachment-based therapy is used to look at patterns in relationships and to build more secure ways of relating to others in current partnerships and family situations.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Gina will talk with each person about their goals and needs, then recommend approaches that fit. She adjusts methods over time based on what works best for the client and their changing priorities.

Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to give flexible options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill demonstration, phone sessions can fit into a work break or when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging support shorter check-ins or between-session coaching. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule while keeping the focus on practical progress and consistent support.
