01 · Who Gina works with
Gina lists 16 specialisms. Specialisms are the subjects Gina chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.
02 · In Gina's own words
Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
Hi my name is Gina Ferrari and I am a licensed clinical social worker. What that means is, it is my job to help people on journeys of self-discovery and healing. It is my great honor to help share in this journey with you and help guide you in this process. Social work has given me the opportunity to work with many individuals, who are no many different paths such as individuals: learning to cope with work stressors, autism spectrum disorders, family stressors, marital conflicts, as well as women's issues.
My goal is to work with you to tailor an approach that will meet your individual needs and lifestyle. The demands of the modern world bring on many new stressors. We are very "plugged in". We have access to a constant stream of information and stimuli. We are overworked, overwhelmed and are often lacking the tools to deal with the rapid and ever changing pace of this world. It is my great passion, as a clinician to help people discover the hidden depth of strength they have as well as aid in teaching new tools to help promote wellbeing. My approach is strengths based, and collaborative with my clients. I feel that you are the expert in your own life! I am here to help, and empower.

03 · What happens next
Gina practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Gina's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Gina at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Gina is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Gina.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
04 · Before you commit
Built from what Gina actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Gina's - Gina has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.
“How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”
Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.
“How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”
On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

06 · Provenance
Gina's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 7 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.
The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.
Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Gina. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
