About Gina
Dr. Gina Gonzalezreyna is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in California with 25 years of clinical experience. She speaks English and Spanish and helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, parenting questions, and life transitions.
Her approach is warm and direct, and she aims to make sessions feel practical and approachable for someone juggling busy days. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current patterns.
Background and approach
She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Narrative and client-centered methods are woven into sessions so clients’ stories are heard and their own goals guide the work. Gina pays attention to common parenting struggles such as preparing for parenthood, postpartum depression, blended family issues, and communication around caregiving.
She also supports people facing trauma and abuse, chronic anger, sleep problems, issues with self-esteem, and the complexities of family of origin or abandonment wounds. Sessions can focus on short-term coping skills or deeper long-term change, depending on what the person wants.
She encourages a steady weekly appointment rhythm and explains that response times for texts or messages may be up to 24 hours. Routine, small steps and clear skills are emphasized during the work. Her background blends a long practical career with an emphasis on helping people discover strengths they may not yet see.
She invites clients to bring real concerns and practical goals so therapy can feel useful from the start.

Approach and online therapy that fits busy lives
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand why they react a certain way in close relationships and supports building more supported ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on practical skills. It helps identify unhelpful thoughts and teaches concrete tools to change behaviors and mood. Client-centered therapy centers the person’s experience, giving space to tell their story while the therapist follows the client’s goals and pace.Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide whether to emphasize insight, skills, story work, or a blend that feels most useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face discussion when time and bandwidth permit. Phone sessions can be easier when a shorter check-in or lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and messaging work well for brief updates, skill practice, or when someone prefers written communication. These options make it easier to keep a weekly rhythm and to access help from wherever the person is located in California.
