Gia Lioi, LCSW(She/Her/Hers)

Gia Lioi, LCSW, is a New York–based relationship therapist providing telehealth therapy for adults and couples across New York State. She specializes in relationship therapy, anxiety treatment, trauma therapy, end-of-life support, and guidance during major life transitions. Her clients often include high-achieving professionals experiencing dating anxiety, social anxiety, post-divorce healing, grief, career transitions, or questions about life purpose and meaning. She also provides end-of-life support and grief counseling for individuals and families navigating anticipatory loss, legacy reflection, and complex emotional transitions.

Gia’s therapy approach integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, EMDR, somatic therapy, attachment-based therapy, and psychedelic integration support. Her work focuses on helping clients identify and transform patterns rooted in trauma, attachment wounds, and protective coping strategies. She works with all types of relationships: romantic partners, married couples, co-parents, family members, friendships, and the foundational relationship with self. In couples therapy, she helps partners understand how conflict often stems from subjective lived experience rather than right-versus-wrong dynamics, guiding them toward emotional safety, effective communication, and secure attachment.

In addition to relationship counseling and trauma therapy, Gia supports clients who feel successful externally yet internally disconnected or unfulfilled. Through depth-oriented psychotherapy and values-based exploration, she helps individuals clarify life direction, strengthen self-trust, and cultivate meaningful connections. She is trained in evidence-based trauma modalities, including EMDR and IFS, and she provides skilled preparation and integration for clients who have engaged in psychedelic-assisted experiences.

Gia is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) offering secure online therapy throughout New York. She works with adults and couples seeking practical tools, emotional insight, and lasting change. Her practice is ideal for individuals navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, existential questions, or major life transitions who are ready to build healthier connections and a more purposeful life.
