Gina Allen, LPC, AADC

---

Gina is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and an Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (AADC) licensed to practice in Arkansas, Louisiana, and Georgia. 

Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or simply ready for change, you don't have to navigate it alone. Gina provides a supportive, nonjudgmental space for telehealth counseling where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered.

Gina works with adults and couples who are experiencing depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, trauma, and substance use concerns. She also addresses relationship and communication challenges, as well as life and career transitions through specialized substance use therapy.

Her approach is collaborative, compassionate, and goal-oriented. Together, Gina will help you identify what's most important and create realistic, meaningful goals that fit your life. She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to challenge unhelpful thought patterns and develop healthier coping strategies. Additionally, she employs Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to strengthen emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and mindfulness. Expressive arts modalities are also utilized when appropriate.

Gina strives to make therapy feel approachable by breaking larger goals into manageable steps, so progress feels achievable rather than overwhelming.

Outside of her practice, Gina finds balance through journaling, art, yoga, and hiking. She also treasures the time spent with her husband, children, and grandchild.
