Background and approach
She also draws on Dialectical Behavioral Therapy techniques to build skills for managing strong emotions and improving day-to-day coping. In the first meeting she spends time understanding why someone is seeking support and what would feel helpful. From there she and the client agree on small, manageable goals and steps to reach them.
She offers resources and tailors strategies to fit each person’s situation. Her style blends professional care with a relaxed tone, and she will use humor when it feels right to lighten tense moments. Sessions emphasize practical skills and real-life applications so people can use what they learn between meetings.
Gena provides sessions by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which allows flexibility for different schedules and needs. She works in English and practices in Kentucky.
