About Gina
Dr. Gina DeArth-Pendley is a Kentucky psychologist with 22 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship and parenting concerns, and questions about life purpose. Gina speaks English and practices from a background in psychological research and long-term counseling work.
She trained at the University of Notre Dame, earning a doctorate degree and learning research-based approaches to family systems, attachment, and interpersonal therapies. Her career includes outpatient and inpatient settings, juvenile justice, and alternative schools across several states. That range informs how she notices patterns in relationships, work, and coping skills.
In sessions she draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral tools, existential questions, and principles from the Gottman Method for relationship work. Expect practical strategies for managing anxiety and mood, along with focused conversations about identity, values, and purpose. She uses clear, concrete techniques when they help and reflective conversation when that fits better.
Gina often helps people who feel stuck after changes in work, relationships, or health. She talks through impulses, communication problems, shame, and career doubts in straightforward ways. Parents can look for support with parenting strain and family conflict while individuals can address self-esteem or addictions concerns.
Her approach balances active listening with tools you can try between sessions. She encourages collaborative planning so goals and steps are realistic. To begin, patients use the site matching process and schedule a first session through the online options provided.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early connections affect trust and communication. Online sessions can use that framework to review relationship patterns, explore communication problems, and rehearse different responses in real time. Client-centered therapy centers the person's experience and aims to make space for their perspective; in an online session this often looks like reflective conversation that helps a person sort values, goals, and what matters next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and impulsivity and translates well to structured online work with homework and skill practice.Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively with the client to decide which methods fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences. That assessment may shift over time as priorities change or new challenges arise.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting appointments into a busy week and reducing travel time so check-ins are easier to keep.

Online work can make it simpler to try short focused sessions, practice skills between meetings, and maintain continuity when schedules are tight.
