Gina Landsee, LPCC

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

Gina uses a person-centered stance in sessions, which means she listens closely and adapts to each person's needs. Her work combines several evidence-based techniques so she can tailor sessions to what is most helpful in the moment. Conversations tend to focus on practical steps, coping tools, and understanding patterns that get in the way of change.

Clients can expect a collaborative style that balances short-term problem solving with attention to deeper life patterns. Gina draws on approaches such as cognitive-behavioral methods and motivational interviewing alongside broader trauma-informed thinking. She emphasizes clear communication and building skills people can use between sessions.

Over her career she has worked with a wide range of concerns tied to relationships, substance use, trauma, and life transitions. That background informs how she supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment struggles, codependency, marital separation, and family stress. Gina also addresses issues connected to cancer, grief, and major life shifts.

Sessions are conducted in English. Prospective clients should follow the site process to start therapy and complete the brief questionnaire used for matching before scheduling.

How Gina’s approaches translate to online work

Gina integrates a person-centered way of working with focused techniques like cognitive-behavioral methods and motivational interviewing. Cognitive-behavioral methods look at thoughts and behaviors and teach practical tools to reduce symptoms like depression or anxiety. Motivational interviewing helps people find their own motivation to change, useful for substance use, commitment issues, and behavior changes.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Gina will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then adapt the mix of approaches over time. The plan can change as progress is made or new concerns appear, and the therapist checks in regularly to make sure the work still fits.

Confirm the session formats available before booking, as formats are not specified here. Many people find online sessions helpful for fitting therapy into busy schedules, keeping regular appointments during life transitions, and using tools worked on in session at home. Online work can make it easier to attend sessions from different locations, shorten check-ins when needed, and allow steady continuity during major life changes.
