About Ginna
Ginna Downing, Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), is licensed in Florida and has 11 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress and anxiety, parenting and caregiving concerns, relationships, grief, trauma and addiction. She describes her work as primarily cognitive, aiming to identify and change thinking patterns that get in the way of personal goals.
Ginna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to build a collaborative relationship and treat clients with dignity and respect. Sessions emphasize practical steps that can be used between meetings.
Her caseload has included people dealing with work-life strain, caregiving stress, and issues tied to life transitions. She has experience with first responder and veteran concerns, mood disorders, intimacy and commitment issues, and challenges related to pregnancy, childbirth, and aging. She also addresses workplace problems and young adult issues.
Ginna checks messages mid-morning and mid-afternoon seven days a week and aims to reply the same day or by the next day. She asks prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
People who contact her can expect a straightforward focus on thinking patterns, goal-oriented planning, and a collaborative way of working toward measurable changes. She encourages clear communication about goals and adjusts approaches based on progress and feedback.

How her approaches inform online work
Ginna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change thinking patterns that increase anxiety, anger, or low self-esteem. CBT sessions focus on clear goals, practical exercises, and strategies that can be tried between meetings to measure progress.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and collaboration. This approach supports people who need a respectful, goal-focused partnership while they work through parenting stress, grief, or life changes.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. She will work with the client to decide what methods fit the person's needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is revisited as work progresses to adjust methods and targets.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to keep appointments around work or caregiving duties. Licensed professionals can use these options to maintain consistency while working on the same CBT exercises and collaborative planning used in face-to-face care.
