About Gina
Gina Marafiote is an Ohio LPCC with eight years of clinical experience. She sees adults who are feeling stuck after changes in work, relationships, or health. Gina focuses on issues such as stress, anxiety, addictions, intimacy-related concerns, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes.
She helps people clarify what matters next instead of handing down a single solution. Her work pays attention to self-love and communication skills as practical tools. Sessions include straightforward conversation, checking what has or hasn't helped, and practicing new ways of relating to yourself and others.
Gina also spends time on social anxiety and phobias, using gradual steps to build comfort in social situations. For people dealing with addiction she emphasizes coping strategies and rebuilding routines that reduce risk. When intimacy or communication problems come up, she focuses on specific skills you can try between sessions.
People come to Gina when they want clearer direction about life purpose or feel overwhelmed by transitions. She explains options, listens for patterns, and helps set small, achievable goals. Progress is measured by what the client notices in daily life, like better sleep, fewer avoidant reactions, or clearer choices.
Her style is collaborative and practical. Gina asks concrete questions, suggests practice exercises, and reviews what works. To begin, she guides people through an initial matching step and schedules a first session so the work can start.
How evidence-based techniques are used online
Gina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focusing on practical skills and gradual exposure. One common approach is skill-building work that teaches concrete strategies for managing anxiety and stress, such as breathing practices, behavioral experiments, and stepwise coping plans. Another approach is graded exposure for social anxiety and phobias, which breaks feared situations into smaller steps and tests them in real life to reduce avoidance.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Gina will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which techniques to try first and adjust them over time based on what the client notices at home, work, or in relationships.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and reduce travel time. The therapist will explain practical details and help arrange sessions that fit a client’s schedule and day-to-day life.
