About Gina

Gina Helms is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Alabama who has supported people facing a wide range of concerns. She has experience working with anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, social phobia, body image issues, addictions and co-occurring mental health disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, and survivors of abuse and exploitation.

Her therapeutic stance is grounded in unconditional positive regard, offering a compassionate, non-judgmental space where clients can share difficulties and explore change. She integrates several evidence-informed methods into treatment, including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, somatic and mindfulness techniques, and trauma-focused approaches. Interventions are selected and adapted to meet the specific needs of each person rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.

Gina aims to help clients move toward healthier, more satisfying lives by combining practical skills with acceptance and self-compassion. She approaches each case with individualized care and a focus on collaboration, viewing it as a privilege to support people through their healing and growth.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while identifying personal values to guide meaningful action. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and persistent negative thinking.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can be helpful for conditions such as anxiety, depression, and obsessive-compulsive symptoms.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, offering tools for managing intense emotions and improving relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Gina Helms works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress is made.

Online therapy with modalities such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or mobility constraints. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and use formats that feel most comfortable for the individual while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
