Gina Marqua , LCSW

Gina Marqua is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) whose practice centers on helping people navigate complex emotional and life challenges. Licensed in Tennessee and Indiana, she specializes in trauma, addiction, and transitions, combining clinical experience with a compassionate, faith-informed perspective. Her work often involves supporting veterans, first responders, survivors of abuse, and individuals managing mood and attachment difficulties, bringing a calm and steady presence to each therapeutic relationship.

Using evidence-based interventions, Gina helps clients process guilt, shame, and painful memories while building practical coping skills and emotional resilience. She is especially committed to those facing addiction, chronic pain, and complicated family dynamics, and she integrates approaches that honor each person’s background and values. Her Christian-informed counseling emphasizes a non-judgmental environment for exploration, healing, and growth.

Gina approaches care as a collaborative process that respects individual strengths and unique stories. Whether addressing panic, relationship strain, or broader questions of identity and meaning, she aims to guide clients toward clearer understanding and more effective ways of coping with life’s challenges.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Gina integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her work. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships influence current patterns of relating and helps address issues like abandonment, attachment difficulties, and relationship strain by creating new, healthier ways of connecting. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and respect for each person's goals, offering a supportive space where clients lead the pace of change and discover their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, and challenges with coping and impulse control.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Gina collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts strategies over time so therapy remains responsive and practical.

Online therapy with Gina is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options make it easier to fit care into busy schedules, accommodate mobility or chronic pain concerns, and maintain continuity of support when in-person visits are difficult. Licensed professionals and therapists can use these modalities effectively to deliver focused, goal-oriented work that meets clients where they are.
