About Gina
Dr. Gina Coffaro is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20 years of experience helping adults manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship pain, and life transitions. She focuses on practical coping skills so people can feel more steady and move toward goals they care about.
Her work also covers issues such as addiction, ADHD, sleep and eating struggles, career concerns, and intimacy-related problems. Gina earned a doctoral degree from Drew University in individual and family counseling and has worked in schools and independent practice in New Jersey.
Background and approach
She draws on a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs, including Emotionally-Focused Therapy, client-centered listening, and cognitive-behavioral techniques. In sessions she listens first, then helps people name what matters and test small changes. Conversations are aimed at reducing overwhelm and building habits that fit daily life.
She uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing when those tools fit the goal. Gina often supports people facing first responder or veteran-related stress, compassion fatigue, jealousy, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and seasonal mood shifts. She also offers guidance around parenting challenges and family building concerns, including infertility and related strain.
Her style is direct but warm. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and invites clients to try different ways of working until something clicks. The emphasis is on usable skills, clearer relationships, and steady progress toward a more satisfying everyday life.

Online support
How her approach translates to online therapy
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying and reshaping patterns in close relationships so people feel more connected and understood; it can help with intimacy problems, jealousy, and relationship distress. Client-Centered Therapy centers the session on the person’s experience, using deep listening and empathy to help people clarify values and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical exercises to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful habits.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. She will talk with each person about their goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. The process is aimed at finding what fits the client’s needs and preferences rather than following a single method.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people use nonverbal cues and have fuller conversations. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging allow ongoing support between sessions and can fit into busy days or shift work schedules.
