About Gina
Dr. Gina DeArth-Pendley is a KY Psychologist (171875) with 22 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, relationship strain, and life transitions. She also helps people facing ADHD, depression, and issues around self-esteem and parenting.
She trained at the University of Notre Dame and has worked in outpatient and inpatient settings, juvenile justice, and alternative schools across several states. That range informs a practical style that focuses on what people do day to day. Sessions center on clear tools and changes rather than abstract theory.
Her approach blends attachment-based ideas, client-centered listening, and cognitive behavioral techniques. That mix aims to clarify patterns in relationships, identify unhelpful thoughts, and try different behaviors in real life. She also draws on existential and Gottman-influenced ideas for questions about meaning and relationship communication.
In meetings she uses active listening and collaborative problem solving. Clients receive guidance, concrete skills, and steps to practice between sessions. The tone is direct and steady - the goal is workable change, not platitudes.
People who come because they snap at loved ones, feel chronic resentment, or have trouble expressing frustration will find a focus on patterns and skills that reduce explosive or withdrawn reactions. For anyone managing life changes, career stress, or compassion fatigue, she combines short-term strategies with longer discussion about values and purpose.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships. It looks at how past relationship experiences shape current reactions and helps people try new ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and understanding the person's perspective, letting the client lead while the therapist reflects and clarifies feelings and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches specific skills to change unhelpful patterns and reduce reactivity.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with the client to choose which ideas and techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative plan can change over time as progress or new issues appear.
The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can meet during a work break or between errands. Therapists can use these sessions to introduce CBT skill practice, talk through relationship patterns, and plan behavior experiments to try between meetings.
