About Gina
Gina Landsee is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Minnesota with 17 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and major life changes. Gina also addresses related concerns such as attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, communication and control problems, and challenges after divorce or separation.
Gina uses a person-centered stance in sessions, listening without judgment and treating people with respect. Her practice draws from several evidence-based techniques, chosen to match a client's needs. She often frames work around what is most pressing right now, whether that is coping with loss, managing substance use, or handling a difficult life transition.
In practical terms sessions include talking through recent events, identifying patterns that keep problems repeating, and testing small changes to see what helps. She brings elements of cognitive-behavioral methods to address thinking and behavior, and uses motivational strategies when substance use or readiness for change is the focus. Gina also considers how trauma affects daily functioning and relationships.
People who feel stuck after a job change, separation, illness, or bereavement may find the sessions focus on what matters next. The work is collaborative and paced to the person’s needs. Goals are revisited regularly and plans adjusted as progress or challenges appear.
Gina practices in Minnesota and conducts sessions in English. Her approach is practical and focused on helping people move forward from a difficult period.
How Gina’s approaches translate to online work
Gina integrates several evidence-based methods in her work. Cognitive-behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing different ways of responding; this can help with depression, anxiety, and patterns that feed addiction. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative way of helping someone clarify their own reasons for change and build readiness, which is often useful for substance use or commitment concerns. She also uses trauma-informed perspectives to recognize how past harm affects current reactions and relationships, and to build step-by-step coping strategies.Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the process. Gina will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted over time as goals or circumstances change.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes it possible to continue work through life transitions such as relocation or schedule changes. Licensed professionals like Gina can adapt exercises and homework so they work well in a remote setting.
