About Genevieve
Genevieve (Genny) Gravina uses a client-centered approach to help people manage anxiety and everyday stress. She is a licensed mental health counselor with six years of experience based in New York. Genny aims to create a calm, straightforward space where people can talk about what matters most to them.
Genny blends practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy with skills from dialectical behavior therapy. She also integrates mindfulness and narrative ideas to help people notice patterns and make small changes that add up.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on doable strategies for worry, sleep, eating concerns, low self-esteem, and relationship strain. Her work often covers mood concerns such as depression, bipolar symptoms, and seasonal shifts. She also helps with family problems, codependency, attachment issues, and communication difficulties.
Genny pays attention to how shame, isolation, and body image get in the way of daily life and relationships. Sessions can include short skills practice, talking through recent events, and reframing unhelpful thoughts. The goal is to identify what is getting in the way and try small experiments to see what helps.
Genny emphasizes clear, practical steps that people can use between sessions. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging for flexible care. Sessions are conducted in English and follow a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
To begin, people complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule based on the therapist's availability.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centered work puts the person’s goals first and centers conversations on what feels most important to them. In online sessions this means time is spent listening, clarifying priorities, and shaping sessions around real-life challenges like anxiety, sleep, or relationship strain.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. Online CBT often includes short exercises between sessions, thought records, and behavioral experiments to reduce worry and improve sleep or mood.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication. In a remote format DBT-style techniques can be practiced in session and applied during the week to handle intense moments and relationship conflicts.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try different strategies, and adapt methods based on what helps. Clients and the therapist decide together which tools to keep using and which to change.
Online therapy offers practical benefits like scheduling flexibility and easier travel planning. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when internet is limited, and live chat or text messaging can be used for quick check-ins or skill coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
