Dr. Gina Torino is a counseling psychologist licensed in New York with over 10 years of experience as both a clinician and an educator. She creates a welcoming and supportive therapeutic environment to help adults explore a variety of concerns.
She works with adults experiencing depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, career transitions, relationship difficulties, and discrimination in multiple settings. Emphasizing cultural competency, her approach is integrative and combines psychodynamic, person-centered, mindfulness, and cognitive-behavioral strategies to meet each person’s needs.
Dr. Torino earned her Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from Columbia University in 2009 and has published on racial and cultural identity development as well as the psychological impact of microaggressions. Her most recent co-authored book, Microaggression Theory: Influence and Implications (2019), examines how the often invisible nature of microaggressions can prevent perpetrators from recognizing their role in creating psychological dilemmas for marginalized groups, and it explores themes such as prejudice, privilege, safe spaces, and cultural appropriation.
She is licensed to practice psychology in the state of New York, listed as NY Psychologist 019214. Dr. Torino seeks to help people increase self-awareness so they can make more informed and meaningful choices in their lives, and she looks forward to working with prospective clients.
Many people question whether therapy delivered online can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
A major benefit is flexibility - individuals can connect with a therapist in the format that fits them best, whether by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This range of options often makes it easier to integrate therapy into a busy schedule.
Each therapist is a licensed professional, and clients may choose to switch therapists if they feel a different fit would be more helpful. Online therapy offers an accessible way to work with qualified therapists for many common mental health concerns.
