About Genny
Genny Luppino is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Michigan with ten years of clinical experience. She offers a calm, practical approach for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and life changes. Her manner is warm and nonjudgmental, and she focuses on helping clients learn skills that last beyond therapy.
Before moving to independent practice, Genny worked on teams in community mental health as a therapist and case manager.
Background and approach
That work gave her experience with ADHD, substance use concerns, grief, and trauma from both childhood and adulthood. She has also supported people thinking through gender identity and sexual orientation concerns. Her style mixes several evidence-informed approaches to meet each person’s needs.
She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive-behavioral techniques alongside attachment-informed and client-centered work. She is proactive in sessions, helping clients practice skills from early in care. Genny builds treatment plans around what each person wants to change.
She helps people set realistic goals, practice boundaries, and manage emotions like anger or shame. She also supports those coping with chronic health issues, caregiver stress, or career transitions. Sessions are offered online by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
For people ready to begin, she asks for a short matching questionnaire and schedules sessions based on availability.
Therapeutic approaches that translate well online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on practical skills to change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood in day-to-day life.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Genny will work with each person to identify goals and try techniques that fit their needs. Together they will adjust the plan so therapy stays focused and useful over time.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited travel options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when timing and bandwidth permit. Phone sessions are a good option when a shorter check-in or lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients share thoughts between sessions or fit support into breaks during the day.
