About Genna
Genna Lo Presti is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 22 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing addictions, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, anxiety, depression, and a range of other challenges including codependency. She speaks English and practices from a clinical perspective shaped by many years in psychiatric and behavioral health settings.
Genna notices how past wounds and insecure attachments can quietly erode self-worth. She describes patterns that leave people feeling exhausted, overly responsible for others, or stuck in cycles of people-pleasing. In sessions she names those automatic reactions and helps people see the patterns that keep them feeling consumed.
Her approach mixes practical cognitive-behavioral techniques with acceptance-based ideas and attachment work. She also draws on emotionally-focused and client-centered methods to help people speak about painful parts of their life. Genna has used these methods in acute psychiatric settings and community behavioral health over most of her career.
Genna uses a plain and direct style in sessions. She will listen, reflect what she hears, and point out recurring reactions. Humor and light impersonations are part of how she helps reduce stress in the room. She often encourages small experiments in saying no, setting boundaries, or tolerating uncomfortable feelings.
Her background includes a Bachelor’s degree completed in 2006, a Master’s degree completed in 2010, and Florida LCSW licensure awarded in 2014. Prospective clients should confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing painful thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate behavior. It helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values despite discomfort. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand why they push others away or cling, and it supports learning more secure ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That conversation guides whether more ACT, attachment work, CBT techniques, or emotionally-focused conversations are used together in sessions.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday break, avoid travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when needed. In remote sessions the focus stays on noticing patterns, practicing boundary-setting, and testing new responses so therapy fits into everyday life rather than adding more to the to-do list.
