Gina Marqua , LCSW

Gina Marqua is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Tennessee. She focuses on trauma, addiction, mood disorders, and the stresses that come with big life changes. Gina uses practical, person-centered care to help people find steadiness and make workable changes.

Gina combines several approaches to fit each person's needs. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. She also uses cognitive behavioral strategies to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. For trauma and distress tied to past events, she incorporates EMDR and other trauma-focused tools when appropriate.

Her background includes a decade of clinical experience across a range of concerns. Gina has worked with people facing addiction, chronic pain and illness, grief, anger, and sexual or intimacy-related struggles. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, bipolar disorder, and family conflict related issues such as abandonment or adoption challenges.

Gina describes her counseling as compassionate and direct. Sessions aim to reduce overwhelming symptoms and build concrete coping skills. She also addresses guilt, shame, and attachment wounds in ways that are respectful of personal values.

Therapy sessions are offered in formats that fit busy lives, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Gina holds active LCSW licenses in Tennessee and Indiana and conducts work in Tennessee.

How Gina’s approaches fit online therapy

Attachment-based therapy focuses on how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional patterns. Online sessions can help people notice repeating patterns, strengthen relational skills, and work through attachment wounds in real time.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. In remote sessions Gina uses clear, practical exercises and homework to change unhelpful thinking and build healthier routines.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that helps process distressing memories; parts of its preparation and integration work adapt well to video and phone formats.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Gina will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then tailor methods to the person's needs in a collaborative way.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, skill practice, or times when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life while using the approaches described above.
