About Gina Nelson, LCSW

Gina has been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over 2 decades and has spent the past 25 years of her career helping individuals and families learn to adapt and cope with difficult life transitions.

She is the creator of Combating Teen Anxiety; her proven 10-step method to reduce teen anxiety and give teens the skills to manage their emotions so that they can succeed in their future goals.  She also designed a parent and teen communication journal to give teens the language and tools to express themselves with their parents when conversations are difficult to discuss in person.

In addition to this journal and working with people in her private practice through online training programs, virtual coaching nationwide, and in person and online psychotherapy in California and Idaho, she also offers corporate workshops, live parent/teen trainings, and keynote speaking. Her expertise is in teaching teens and adults to catch their anxiety before it gets out of control, and to practice owning, speaking, and releasing their emotions in a more productive way.

Gina’s clinical expertise combined with her personal journey raising 3 kids through their challenges is what really helps her connect on a deeper level and transform the lives of her clients. When she’s not helping others, Gina loves adventuring in the great outdoors with family and friends.
