Gina Landsee

Gina Landsee is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Minnesota with 17 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and the disruptions that come with life changes. Gina also helps clients who are dealing with abandonment, attachment concerns, blended family challenges, codependency, and relationship communication problems.

Gina uses a person-centered stance and an eclectic mix of evidence-based techniques. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps. She draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas to identify patterns of thought and behavior that keep people stuck. Motivational interviewing techniques are used to support change when substance use or ambivalence is present.

Because trauma is often part of the picture, she incorporates trauma-informed perspectives and strategies to help people feel steadier and more regulated. Dialectical behavioral ideas are used when intense emotions or difficulties with self-control interfere with daily life. Psychodynamic and solution-focused elements appear when exploring history or when clients need compact, goal-oriented work.

Gina describes therapy as a collaborative process. She works with each person to set practical steps and to test what helps in day-to-day life. Many people come with work or family disruption and leave with clearer routines and less reactivity.

Sessions are conducted in English and are based in Minnesota. The practice uses a subscription billing model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online work

Gina commonly uses cognitive-behavioral approaches that focus on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing small behaviors. Those techniques work well to break cycles of avoidance, low mood, and unhelpful habits, and they often include practical homework between sessions.

She also draws on motivational interviewing, which helps when people feel torn about change. This approach emphasizes clarifying personal reasons for change and building momentum in a stepwise way. A trauma-informed perspective guides how she adjusts pacing and grounding strategies for someone with distressing memories or strong emotions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. Gina works collaboratively to test what helps, combining methods where useful and adjusting plans based on goals and responses. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques to emphasize.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow brief check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also make it simpler to use written tools or screen-shared worksheets during a session. Many people find these practical benefits help therapy fit into everyday life.
