About Gina
Dr. Gina Scarano-Osika is a New York psychologist with 25 years of clinical experience. She lists work with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, as well as depression, addiction, grief, and other common problems. Dr. Scarano-Osika's profile notes attachment-related topics and family of origin issues among her areas of focus.
She combines cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior approaches in her sessions. Those methods are used alongside an attachment-based orientation. In practice this means talking through thoughts and behaviors, learning practical skills for managing strong emotions, and looking at how early family roles affect current patterns.
Dr. Scarano-Osika helped build a private practice over two decades, starting it with her husband and expanding it to a larger group of clinicians. That history informs how she structures appointments and coordinates care when people need different kinds of support.
Sessions tend to focus on skill-building and clearer communication. People learn tools for stress, sleep, and managing anger. Work on relationships often centers on patterns that began in childhood and how they show up now.
She notes a limitation in her practice regarding gender dysphoria and LGBQ concerns and does not list those as areas of expertise. People who are interested in working together are asked to use the site's matching and scheduling process to set up a first appointment.
How her approaches work for online sessions
Clinical methods you are likely to encounter include cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them, then practicing different ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety, depression, and unwanted habits. Attachment-based work looks at early family roles and relationships to see how they shape current patterns in intimacy and communication.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals, symptoms, and preferences with each person and suggest which methods to emphasize. Decisions about focus and pacing are made together so the plan fits what the client wants to work on.
