About Gina
Dr. Gina Ligonde is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 26 years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, family conflict, low motivation, and self-esteem concerns. She also supports those facing compassion fatigue and related strains.
Her work is direct and practical. She listens to what is happening now and what has felt stuck for a long time. Conversations focus on clear goals and small steps that fit a person’s life. She adapts the pace and topics to each person’s needs.
Dr. Ligonde often addresses how relationships, work, and health pressures overlap. She talks through communication problems, control issues, and the fallout from separation or divorce. Guilt and shame are included among the concerns she works with, and she approaches those feelings as experiences to be understood rather than judged.
She brings many years of clinical practice to questions about caregiving stress, chronic illness, panic, and workplace strain. Sessions also cover money stress, life purpose, and issues common in midlife. The focus is on making daily life more manageable and less overwhelming.
People who meet with her can expect straightforward conversation about goals, obstacles, and next steps. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How Dr. Ligonde adapts talking therapies for online work
Dr. Ligonde uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on present problems and practical skills. One common approach emphasizes building coping strategies for anxiety and panic by practicing breath work, grounding exercises, and stepwise exposure to feared situations. Another approach centers on communication skills and problem solving to reduce conflict and improve day-to-day interactions. These methods help with stress, relationship strain, and workplace issues.Finding the right way of working is part of the process. She will collaborate with each person to pick techniques that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That means checking in about what is helping, adjusting tasks between sessions, and choosing exercises that fit someone’s routine.
