About me

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida with experience working with adults of all ages. I have worked with clients with a wide range of issues including anxiety, loss and separation, relationship issues, parenting problems, caregiving conflicts, and issues with work/home balance.

I am primarily a cognitive therapist who works with clients to identify and correct thinking styles that interfere with achievement of personal goals. I approach each client with dignity and respect and strive to develop a positive therapeutic alliance in which I partner with clients to achieve their desired clinical success.

I check messages mid-morning and mid-afternoon seven days a week, so you will hear back from me the day of your initial contact, or the very next day, at the latest. I look forward to hearing from you and discussing how we can work together to achieve your personal goals.

Please remember that BetterHelp is not appropriate if you are in crisis or in immediate need of assistance. In crisis situations, please call 911 or your local emergency services. You can also call 988 to talk to someone right away.

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Ginna Downing. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

I have been working with Ginna for over a month now and couldn't be happier. She is incredibly insightful and helpful understanding relationship dynamics and what makes people tic. I came into this service skeptical of how a remote counselor could help me; after the first session I realized she was someone I wish I would've been working with many years ago. I walk away from every one of our appointments feeling more confident, and with a better sense of understanding of myself and my partner. She is a wealth of knowledge and has such a great perspective on life. I would encourage anyone to reach out for help and advice from her.

Ginna has been great to work with. She’s always quick to respond to messages between online sessions. Random positive notes from Ginna always seem to come at a needed time for me.

In the short time I’ve had Ginna as a therapist she has been a great support, reminding me of how much I have accomplished and teaching me how deal with and reframe tough situations. Always kind, patient and takes the time to listen. Great therapist!
