About Gina
Gina Licursi is an Ohio-licensed clinician who focuses on practical support for everyday parenting concerns. She helps people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, and the effects of trauma and abuse. Gina aims to make sessions feel warm and non-judgmental so parents can talk openly about what is hard right now.
Gina uses plain, goal-focused methods that help people notice patterns and try new behaviors. She centers the person's own knowledge about their life and builds on existing strengths.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and aim to leave people with simple tools they can try between meetings. Over eight years of work in social work and counseling settings have shaped her approach. That experience includes helping people who have faced domestic violence, post-traumatic stress, and sexual assault and abuse.
Gina also supports those dealing with addictions, self-esteem struggles, and big life changes. Her clinical practice in Ohio is informed by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a method that links thoughts, feelings, and actions so clients can test new ways of responding. She works with people across a range of concerns, including LGBT-related stress and parenting strain.
Gina explains options clearly and helps people set small, realistic goals. Conversations typically focus on what is happening now and what changes are possible. Gina encourages steady progress through short experiments and practical coping strategies.
She aims to help parents feel more confident in daily life and better able to manage stressful moments.

How CBT and online sessions can help parenting stress
Gina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. CBT breaks problems into smaller, manageable parts and gives simple exercises to test new responses, which can help with anxiety, low mood, and stress related to parenting.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and daily routines to choose techniques that fit the person. Together they will try methods and adjust plans based on what is helpful and realistic for that life situation.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people connect face-to-face for in-depth work. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a busy schedule. Live chat and text messaging allow for shorter check-ins, quick problem-solving, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options offer flexibility for parents managing time, work, and household demands.
