Gina Thomas, Ph.D.

Provisionally Licensed Psychologist
Supervised by Dr. Allison Sallee, LP

Hi, I’m Sabrina (she/her). I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate who works with kids, teens, and young adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, and neurodivergent experiences. I bring energy, empathy, and a healthy dose of humor into the room—and I’m not afraid to challenge you when it helps you grow.

Therapy with me is relaxed but focused. I’ll meet you where you are, whether you need space to vent, want help with tough decisions, or are working through patterns that keep coming back. I use a mix of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and EMDR—always adapted to what actually works for you.

My clients often describe me as warm, personable, and real. If you want a therapist who’s approachable and grounded (but won’t just nod and smile), we’ll probably work well together. I especially love working with clients who are exploring identity, managing ADHD or Autism, or adjusting to big life shifts—like college transitions, changing relationships, or figuring out what’s next.

Want to Know More About the Approaches I Use?

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is the foundation of much of my work. It helps you recognize patterns between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, especially when it comes to anxiety, OCD, or overthinking. Together, we’ll identify what’s fueling your distress and practice new tools that feel realistic and supportive.

Emotion Regulation Tools
If you often feel emotionally overwhelmed, shut down, or stuck in a loop, emotion regulation tools can help build awareness and give you more choices in how you respond. I’ll introduce strategies for identifying emotions earlier and responding in ways that align with your values and needs.

Mindfulness
I often incorporate simple, present-focused tools to help you notice what’s going on internally without getting swept away. This might include grounding exercises, sensory awareness, or breathing techniques, all adapted to your comfort level and preferences.

Strengths-Based, Culturally Sensitive Therapy
Your identity, culture, and lived experience are central to how we work together. I won’t ask you to fit into a model that doesn’t feel right. Instead, I’ll stay curious about what matters to you, adapt my approach accordingly, and make sure our work reflects your values, not someone else’s idea of progress.
