About Gina
Gina Landsee is an LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Minnesota with 17 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and major life changes, as well as related struggles like abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, and substance use problems.
Gina uses a person-centered stance and values straightforward, judgement-free conversation. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings and on noticing patterns that keep old feelings alive. She mixes several approaches so the work can shift when progress stalls.
Her practice draws from cognitive-behavioral ideas to help identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Elements of dialectical behavioral thinking are used when people need skills to tolerate strong emotions. Motivational interviewing shows up when substance use or change ambivalence is a core concern.
Gina also brings psychodynamic ideas and a trauma lens to understand how past hurts shape present reactions. Solution-focused techniques are used to set clear, doable goals and track small wins. The emphasis is on steady, practical change rather than quick fixes.
People who come for grief, relationship strain, or feelings of emptiness can expect direct talk about what keeps those feelings active. Gina asks about real-world routines and supports, and she helps plan manageable steps forward. If a reader wants to proceed, they are guided through the platform process to match and schedule a first session.
How Gina’s approaches translate to online work
Gina draws on cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which can be practiced between sessions. This approach is often used for depression, anxiety, and patterns linked to shame or guilt.She also uses elements of dialectical behavioral thinking to teach skills for tolerating strong emotions and reducing impulsive reactions. When substance use or motivation for change is central, motivational interviewing helps clarify ambivalence and build commitment to small steps.
Finding the right blend of methods is part of the work. Gina treats choosing an approach as a collaborative decision and will adjust techniques based on a person’s needs, goals, and what feels useful in practice.
