About Kristen
Kristen Gennety is a Michigan-licensed social worker, LMSW, with four years of professional experience. She works with adults on common early-adulthood pressures such as stress, anxiety, relationship strain, self-esteem, and motivation. Kristen also supports people coping with depression, ADHD, grief, and trauma-related concerns.
Kristen uses practical, plain-spoken methods in sessions. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to shape conversations. Sessions focus on skills you can try between meetings and on spotting patterns that get in the way of daily life.
She pays attention to strengths and moments of humor as part of the work. Kristen helps people name where they feel stuck and experiment with small changes. She encourages clear goals and checks progress regularly so the work stays relevant.
Kristen has worked with issues such as relationship problems, communication difficulties, codependency, intimacy struggles, and family conflict. She also addresses body image, eating and food-related issues, abandonment and attachment concerns, anger, and isolation or loneliness.
People who want straightforward, skills-focused sessions may find her approach useful. To get started, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the therapy service. Sessions are conducted in English and follow Michigan practice standards.
How Kristen’s approaches work for online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and feeling stuck in early adult life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns and testing alternatives with small experiments between sessions. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and motivation problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships shape current patterns and communication and can help with intimacy, abandonment issues, and relationship conflict.Deciding which method fits best is part of the work. Kristen will talk with each client about goals, daily challenges, and what feels doable. Together they will try approaches and adjust based on what helps most, making the process collaborative rather than a fixed prescription.
