About Genevieve
Genevieve (Genny) Gravina is a New York LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, mood concerns, and major life changes. Genny also supports people dealing with eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, and intimacy-related issues.
Genny favors practical, talk-based work that centers on the client's goals. She draws on client-centered methods and evidence-informed techniques to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding. Sessions are conversational and focused on real-life problems rather than clinical jargon.
Her background includes helping people navigate family conflict, codependency, and attachment issues. She also addresses body image, guilt and shame, loneliness, and questions about life purpose. Genny pays attention to how relationships and habits affect mood and daily functioning.
Therapeutic tools she commonly uses include cognitive behavioral work to track thoughts and behaviors, dialectical behavior skills for managing intense emotions, and mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity. Narrative approaches are used when telling a clearer, more useful story about past events helps reduce their hold.
Genny aims to help clients build straightforward strategies they can use between sessions. She encourages small, observable changes and checks what is working as therapy progresses. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.
How Genny applies CBT, DBT, and client-centered work online
Client-centered work focuses on listening and prioritizing what the client wants to address. It helps when someone needs a cooperative, goal-focused relationship with their therapist. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thought patterns and behaviors and teaches practical ways to change them. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and problems that show up in daily routines. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for tolerating distress, regulating emotions, and improving communication. Those skills are often used for intense emotions or relationship conflicts.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Genny will discuss options and help decide what fits a client's goals and preferences. That collaborative choice is revisited as therapy continues, and methods can shift based on what helps most.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into study schedules, work breaks, or commuting days. Some formats may also let people do shorter check-ins when time is tight, limit video use if bandwidth is low, or keep sessions consistent across changing routines. These practical benefits can help therapy fit into everyday life without adding more stress.
