About Genevieve
Genevieve (Genny) Gravina is a New York LMHC with six years of clinical experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship strain, and codependency concerns. Genny also supports those dealing with self-esteem struggles, eating and sleep problems, and parenting challenges.
She uses client-centered therapy as a foundation, blending Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and narrative approaches. Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer thinking. Genny helps people notice patterns, practice new responses, and test small changes between sessions.
Her background includes working with mood disorders such as bipolar disorder and seasonal affective disorder, and with issues like attachment problems, body image, social anxiety, and compassion fatigue. She pays attention to how relationships affect daily choices and coping. Conversations often include looking at thoughts, emotions, and behavior in concrete ways.
In the room, Genny aims to make therapy straightforward. People can expect to talk through recent struggles, identify unhelpful patterns, and try out coping tools. She encourages short experiments and step-by-step adjustments rather than large leaps.
To get started, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Genny works in English and does not take international clients. Her practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and following what matters most to the person. Online sessions can use that focus to prioritize current concerns and practical goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior with specific exercises and homework. CBT works well when someone wants structured steps to reduce anxiety, manage mood, or address people-pleasing patterns.Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skill-based work for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer boundaries. Online work can include practicing brief emotion-regulation techniques and rehearsing boundary language between sessions. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which approach or mix of approaches fits best based on goals, preferences, and day-to-day realities.
Confirm the actual session formats before booking since the profile does not list them. Many people find online therapy helpful because it can fit around work and parenting, avoid travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Some formats use video for face-to-face conversation, while others use audio-only for lower bandwidth or less screen time; check which options are offered when you sign up. Overall, online sessions can make regular practice and skill-building easier to include in everyday life.
