Gina Landsee, LPCC

Gina Landsee is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) in Minnesota with 17 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing depression, grief, addictions, trauma, and major life changes. Gina aims to meet people without judgment and to listen with empathy and respect.

Gina uses a person-centered stance that focuses on the client's pace and needs. She draws from several therapeutic methods and adapts them to each person's situation. Sessions often include practical strategies for coping, exploring patterns that get in the way, and building skills for daily life.

Her background includes work with complex trauma, substance use concerns, and relationship stress. Gina also addresses issues like abandonment, attachment struggles, communication problems, and feelings of emptiness. She names common life events such as divorce, blended family challenges, and cancer as areas she supports people through.

Gina describes her overall approach as eclectic. She commonly uses cognitive-behavioral ideas, dialectical behavioral concepts, motivational interviewing, psychodynamic thinking, and solution-focused techniques while keeping a trauma-informed lens. This mix allows her to offer practical tools while attending to emotional experience.

People can expect a straightforward, compassionate therapist who values respect and kindness. Gina encourages those ready to seek change to reach out and begin a process of gradual growth and healing.

Approaches that guide online work and how they help

Gina commonly uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors; this approach is useful for depression, anxiety, and coping skills. She also draws on motivational interviewing to help people clarify goals and find internal motivation, which can be helpful for substance use and readiness for change. Finally, she integrates trauma-informed perspectives that pay attention to safety, pacing, and the impact of past harm on current feelings.

Choosing the right mix of methods is part of the work together. Gina will collaborate with each person to identify what feels most useful, adjust techniques over time, and check in about progress and comfort. That collaborative process helps match tools to goals and daily life needs.

Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full in-person visit is hard to arrange. It can also let someone use different communication styles over time, such as more verbal discussion or focused skill practice, depending on what helps them meet their goals.
