Gina Sinito, LMHC, LPCC

Gina Sinito is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 23 years of clinical experience. She practices in Ohio and draws on a humanistic, client-centered approach. Gina invites openness and honest conversation and aims to create a calm space for people who are struggling.

She often helps people dealing with anxiety and depression. She also supports those facing life transitions like divorce, loss, illness, career change, or postpartum challenges. Gina uses mindfulness and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people manage symptoms and build coping skills.

Gina emphasizes authentic living and empathic understanding. Sessions focus on what matters most to each person and on practical steps toward feeling better. She encourages self-reflection alongside skill building so clients can make steady, real-world changes.

Her work also addresses relationship concerns, grief, addiction, self-esteem, parenting strains, and stress related to caregiving or first-responder roles. Gina integrates elements of dialectical behavior therapy and emotionally-focused and existential perspectives when they fit a person’s goals.

Outside of therapy she spends time with family, practices yoga, walks, and maintains a regular meditation practice. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and expresses a commitment to supporting people as they work toward clearer direction and improved well-being.

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's experience and values listening and empathy. In sessions the therapist follows the client’s lead, helps reflect what matters, and supports decisions that match personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal interaction, which can help with intense emotions and relationship strain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gina will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. She mixes approaches when helpful and reviews progress together so adjustments can be made over time.

Please confirm the available online session formats before booking because specific formats were not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow for check-ins that work around work or caregiving schedules. It can also accommodate quieter sessions that do not require being on camera or allow brief phone check-ins when bandwidth is limited.
