About Gina
Dr. Gina Coffaro helps people manage stress, anxiety, sleep problems, relationship strain, and major life changes. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with twenty years of counseling experience. Her work includes support for grief, addiction concerns, ADHD, mood difficulties, and issues related to intimacy and self-esteem.
She listens first and builds a plan with each person. Sessions focus on practical coping skills people can use between meetings. Gina draws on approaches that help people change unhelpful thoughts, deepen important relationships, and use mindful awareness to reduce reactivity.
Gina earned a doctoral degree from Drew University with a focus on individual and family counseling, and she has worked in schools and private practice settings in New Jersey. That background shapes an emphasis on everyday strategies that fit real life schedules and responsibilities.
Her style is warm and goal-oriented. She combines client-centered conversation with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and emotionally-focused work when appropriate. Motivational interviewing and mindfulness practices also appear in sessions to support movement toward goals.
People who want a coach-like collaborator will find a practical focus in her approach. She helps clarify priorities, set small steps, and track progress. If sleep or rest is a concern, she integrates strategies to improve nightly routines and reduce sleep disruption as part of overall coping work.
Approaches that translate to online work
Dr. Coffaro often uses client-centered techniques that focus on listening and understanding your priorities. This approach helps people shape goals and decide what matters most in life, which suits conversations about relationships, self-esteem, and life changes.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which breaks down patterns of thinking and behavior into steps you can change. CBT is practical for anxiety, sleep difficulties, and mood concerns because it teaches concrete strategies to test and shift unhelpful thoughts.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will help you choose methods based on your goals, daily routine, and what feels comfortable. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
