About Gina
Dr. Gina DeArth-Pendley welcomes parents and individuals who are feeling overwhelmed, angry, or unsure where to begin. She uses a steady, down-to-earth style to help people manage strong emotions and everyday stress.
Dr. DeArth-Pendley is a psychologist with over 22 years of experience and practices in Kentucky as KY Psychologist 171875. Her work focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions.
She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and build new habits.
Background and approach
She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape reactions and Gottman Method skills to improve communication around repeat conflicts. Dr. DeArth-Pendley has worked in many settings across the United States, including outpatient and inpatient mental health agencies, juvenile justice, and alternative schools.
That range of experience contributes to a flexible, realistic approach for people facing anger, anxiety, depression, ADHD, addictions, or relationship strain. Sessions are collaborative and straightforward. She listens, helps name patterns, and offers concrete tools for calming down, handling impulsivity, and repairing communication.
Parents can expect clear strategies for managing parenting stress and family conflict. She blends practical skill-building with space to talk about meaning, identity, and life direction when those topics matter. If someone wants a therapist who combines evidence-based techniques with an emphasis on relationships, Dr.
DeArth-Pendley offers that mix in her Kentucky practice.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and reactions; online sessions use that frame to help people notice patterns and try new ways of connecting with others. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful, non-judgmental relationship so clients feel heard and can find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and practice concrete skills for managing anger, anxiety, or low mood, often with short exercises between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then tailor techniques to each person. This is a collaborative process that may mix approaches over time to meet changing needs.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and situations. Video is useful for longer work and role-play of communication skills. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging let people check in quickly, do short coaching-style tasks, or keep momentum between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family life or work routines.
