Dr. Gina Coffaro , LPC

Dr. Gina Coffaro brings more than twenty years of counseling experience to her work with adults and couples, offering practical support to help people build the coping skills they need for a more fulfilling life. She earned a Doctoral Degree from Drew University with a specialization in individual and family counseling, and has applied that training across school systems and private practice settings.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC - she works with individuals and couples on family building and infertility as well as adults navigating anxiety, divorce, relationship challenges, work and life transitions, and grief. She also integrates life coaching elements into counseling to offer caring, supportive guidance aimed at helping people define and pursue joy and success on their own terms.

Her approach centers on individualized, strength-based care that begins with listening and supporting each person where they are. By helping clients identify their strengths, express hidden talents, and create greater meaning in work and relationships, she aims to unlock potential and reduce the worry and anxiety that can block personal and professional growth. Dr. Coffaro invites people to share their stories and to work together toward becoming the best version of themselves.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Dr. Gina Coffaro commonly uses client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) in her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a collaborative, nonjudgmental relationship so clients can identify their own goals and strengths - it is useful for issues like self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people recognize and shift unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and to improve daily functioning. Emotionally-focused therapy concentrates on understanding and reshaping emotional responses within relationships, which can help couples and individuals dealing with intimacy and attachment challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Coffaro collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts her methods as progress unfolds. This collaborative process helps ensure the work fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy with Dr. Coffaro is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These formats make it possible to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity through life changes, and receive support from different locations while working with a licensed professional who tailors care to each client’s circumstances.
