Gina Landsee

Gina Landsee is a licensed professional clinical counselor with 17 years of clinical experience. She offers nonjudgmental support to people facing major life changes, including grief, depression, addictions, and the stress that follows separation and divorce. Gina talks with clients in a direct and warm way to help them focus on next steps and coping strategies.

She meets people where they are and works at the pace each person needs. Her base is a person-centered stance, which means she prioritizes empathy and respect while clients make choices about their growth. Gina blends several practical techniques to match the needs of each person rather than following a single method.

Common issues she addresses include trauma and abuse, substance use concerns, attachment and abandonment wounds, and the strain of blended family dynamics. She also helps people manage communication and control issues, codependency, and the emptiness that can follow major life transitions.

Gina uses tools from cognitive-behavioral approaches to help shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She incorporates motivational interviewing to support people who are unsure about change and elements of dialectical behavioral ideas for emotion regulation when needed.

Her Minnesota license is LPCC, which stands for licensed professional clinical counselor. Sessions are conducted in English. People begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule appointments based on the therapist's availability.

Gina emphasizes practical steps and steady progress. She aims to help clients build skills they can use between sessions and to find clearer direction after difficult life events.

Therapeutic approaches and making them work online

Gina draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. This approach is useful for depression, anxiety, and shifting behaviors tied to substance use or relationship patterns. She also uses motivational interviewing techniques to support people who are unsure about change, helping them find internal reasons to move forward and set realistic goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Gina starts by asking about a person's goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. She then suggests techniques and adapts them as needed so therapy fits the client rather than forcing a single method.

Confirm the current online session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day and reduce travel time. It can also allow for shorter check-in sessions when that suits a person's schedule or offer options that do not require being on camera. Licensed professionals work with each client to choose an approach and session rhythm that fits their life.
