Gina Mumey , LCSW

Gina Mumey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with nine years of clinical experience. She helps adults across the age span who are coping with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship concerns, and life changes. Gina welcomes straightforward goals and works with each person to build a clear plan to reach them.

Her style is adaptive and calm. Some people need a listener and sounding board. Others want step-by-step direction. Gina aims to offer both and the space in between, depending on what a person asks for. She uses a strengths-based view and looks for the skills someone already has to build on.

Gina has a background in gerontology and additional training in behaviors and cognitive care. That experience shaped much of her work with older adults and with people navigating loss and change. She has also led grief support groups and supported people facing bereavement or other kinds of loss.

In sessions she talks through goals first and then helps create practical steps toward them. Together she and the client consider healthier coping options when old habits no longer serve. Gina pays close attention to how stress shows up in sleep, relationships, parenting, work, and daily routines.

Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered methods, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and hypnotherapy tools. These methods are used to reduce avoidance, clarify values, and strengthen coping. Gina works from Oregon and conducts sessions in English.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take actions that align with those values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions because it focuses on small steps toward a meaningful life rather than symptom elimination. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person in the room and uses empathic listening to help someone make decisions and feel heard. This approach can be helpful when someone needs a trusted space to sort through feelings and goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gina treats the choice of methods as collaborative and will help weigh options based on a person’s goals, preferences, and daily life. Together they adjust the plan over time so sessions stay relevant to progress and changing needs.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier on low bandwidth or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, reflections between sessions, and fitting support into a busy schedule. These options help people access care from different places and at different times while keeping the focus on their goals and progress.
