Gina Gonzalez (she/her) is a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate (LCSWA) based in North Carolina since 2024. She brings a compassionate, creative, and down-to-earth approach to working with children, teens, and adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, grief, and major life transitions. Gina integrates person-centered, strengths-based, and trauma-informed care using approaches like TF-CBT, CBT, DBT, CPP, play therapy, and solution-focused and multicultural counseling. She tailors each session to meet clients where they are whether through talk, art, storytelling, or expressive play, believing healing can be both meaningful and lighthearted. Her goal is to walk alongside clients with empathy and real talk, helping them build resilience, deepen self-understanding, and move forward at their own pace in a safe, judgment-free space.
