Dr. Gina Ligonde

Dr. Gina Ligonde is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 26 years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family conflicts, low self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses life purpose and midlife concerns when people question what comes next.

Dr. Ligonde focuses on clear conversation and practical steps. Sessions explore what feels most pressing and what patterns keep people stuck. She helps people talk through communication problems, control issues, and workplace stress in plain language. When health or caregiving adds strain, she addresses those pressures alongside emotional concerns.

Her approach adapts to each person. She discusses goals, adjusts the pace, and shapes sessions around what helps most. Topics she commonly covers include divorce and separation, grief over lost options, money and financial stress, and the shame or guilt that can follow hard choices.

People looking for help with panic attacks, chronic pain and illness, or isolation and loneliness can work with her on practical strategies and coping plans. She also supports women managing role strain and those feeling depleted by caregiving responsibilities.

Evidence-based approaches and online sessions

Dr. Ligonde works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear goals and practical skills. One common approach she uses is cognitive-behavioral style work, which helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking to reduce anxiety and panic symptoms. Another frequent strand is problem-focused therapy that breaks down overwhelming issues into manageable steps, useful for caregiver stress, workplace problems, and difficult decisions about relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She collaborates with each person to decide which methods suit their needs and preferences, adjusting plans as progress or new issues emerge. This collaborative stance helps clarify next steps when someone feels uncertain about work, relationships, or life purpose.

The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy life and reducing travel time. Because the original biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule regular check-ins, try short focused meetings on a hectic day, or avoid commute time so therapy fits alongside work and caregiving obligations.
