About Gina

Dr. Gina DeArth-Pendley welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or big life changes. She writes in a direct, respectful way and aims to make therapy feel practical and doable for everyday life.

Dr. DeArth-Pendley practices in Kentucky and brings 22 years of experience as a KY Psychologist 171875. She uses Narrative Therapy alongside attachment-focused and client-centered work to help people tell their stories differently.

Sessions often focus on small, concrete shifts - changing how you understand a problem, testing a new behavior, or rebuilding a sense of self after difficult events.

Background and approach

Her background includes a doctorate from the University of Notre Dame and many years working in outpatient and inpatient settings, juvenile justice, and alternative schools across multiple states. That experience shaped her attention to relationships, family roles, and cultural context. In sessions she emphasizes listening, respect, and collaboration.

She offers encouragement and practical tools when they fit a person’s goals. Conversations are intended to be straightforward and useful rather than long on jargon. Dr.

DeArth-Pendley helps with a wide range of concerns including ADHD, addiction issues, relationship and parenting struggles, career questions, compassion fatigue, and issues around identity and self-worth. Additional focus areas include attachment issues, communication problems, guilt and shame, and young adult challenges. People can expect a blend of approaches that connects everyday concerns to deeper patterns.

The work is aimed at clearer choices, steadier self-understanding, and actions that feel possible in daily life.

Online session options

How narrative, attachment, and client-centered work translate online

Attachment-Based Therapy in online sessions focuses on patterns in relationships and how early bonds influence current behavior. It helps people who want clearer ways to connect, set boundaries, or manage strong emotions in close relationships.

Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from their problems by examining the stories they tell about their lives. Online work can support rewriting those stories into versions that open up new choices and make daily life feel more manageable.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and priorities, with the therapist following the client’s lead. This approach is useful when someone needs a steady, accepting space to sort out feelings and decide what matters next.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. That might mean trying one approach for a time and adjusting if something else feels more helpful.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people work face to face without travel, phone sessions are an option when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports brief check-ins, and text messaging can help between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy routines and to use the format that best matches communication style and daily life.
