About Genevieve
Genevieve (Genny) Gravina is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who centers sessions on the person in front of her. She uses clear, practical talk and compassionate listening to help people better manage stress, anxiety, mood struggles, and sleeping problems. Genny aims to make each visit feel calm and useful rather than overwhelming.
Genny draws on client-centered work to keep sessions focused on each person's goals and priorities. She often blends cognitive behavioral techniques to identify thinking patterns that worsen anxiety or low mood. Dialectical behavior strategies and mindfulness practices are used when people need tools to regulate strong feelings or improve day-to-day coping.
Her background includes six years of clinical experience in New York working with issues such as relationships, self-esteem, eating and food-related concerns, parenting strains, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses attachment challenges, body image, codependency, and social anxiety. Genny describes therapy as a collaborative process where strengths are built alongside practical skills.
Sessions aim to combine short-term problem solving with deeper narrative work when that fits the client's goals. That can mean setting small homework tasks, practicing grounding or breathing techniques, or talking through difficult memories to change how they affect today. Genny invites people to bring their real-life concerns and leave with clear next steps.
Her approach is straightforward and warm. She works with people to make everyday life feel more manageable and to improve sleep and rest by addressing habits, worry, and emotional patterns that interfere with sleep.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding the person's goals and steering sessions around what matters most to them. Online, this means conversations begin with the client's immediate concerns and priorities so sessions stay practical and focused.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses simple tasks to change unhelpful patterns. In remote sessions, CBT tools like thought records, behavioral experiments, and brief homework can be assigned and reviewed between meetings.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. Online DBT-style work typically teaches grounding, distress tolerance, and emotion regulation exercises that people can practice in daily life.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about goals, try different techniques, and check in about what helps most. Together they adjust the plan based on progress and personal preferences.
Confirm current session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and fit brief check-ins into a busy day. It also allows practical skill-building between sessions, which can help with sleep routines, anxiety management, and daily coping without promising a particular service or outcome.
