About Gia
Gia Seutter is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Oregon with 20 years of experience. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, grief, and major life changes. Gia aims to meet people where they are and to treat everyone with respect and compassion.
Her approach is flexible and tailored to each person. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps that fit daily life. Conversations are collaborative - Gia listens first, then offers strategies and tools that match what the person wants to work on.
Gia draws on therapy methods that help strengthen emotional bonds and improve thinking and behavior. She uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at relationship patterns and Client-Centered techniques to prioritize the person's experience. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps reframe unhelpful thoughts and create small behavior changes.
People often come for help after a loss, a breakup, a painful history, or when stress becomes hard to manage. Gia also supports those navigating adoption and foster care concerns, aging and geriatric issues, chronic illness, and complex family dynamics. Her work covers a wide range of relationship and life challenges without promising specific outcomes.
Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs and goals. Gia encourages steady, reachable steps and teaches skills that can be used between sessions. To begin, people typically complete a short intake and then set goals together.
How Gia’s approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions. Online sessions using these ideas focus on understanding attachment patterns and practicing new ways of relating in day-to-day life.Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person's experience and choices. In this approach the therapist listens deeply, reflects what is said, and supports the client's own problem-solving and growth.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Gia will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest methods that feel like a good fit. The process is collaborative and may change as goals evolve.
