About Genna

Genna Cincogrono is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with seven years of experience. She works with adults on issues such as addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, codependency, and self-esteem. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.

Genna draws on straightforward, practical methods in session. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits. She also works with trauma-focused interventions and motivational approaches to support change. Conversations tend to be direct and goal-oriented, with attention to what someone wants to change and how to get there.

Her background includes work in the substance use and addiction field and running a small private practice. That experience informs how she approaches addiction, relapse prevention, and cross-addiction concerns. She also brings experience addressing eating and sleep problems, mood disorders, and relationship patterns that leave people putting others first.

In sessions she helps people notice patterns like people-pleasing, boundary avoidance, and caretaking that runs at their expense. Practical skills can include setting limits, communicating needs, and building routines that support mood and stress management. Therapy can also involve processing trauma and grief when those issues are present.

Genna aims to work collaboratively on concrete steps toward change. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session are the next steps through the online options button. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How sessions work

How Genna uses approaches in online sessions

Genna commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions focus on clear, practical steps such as identifying triggers, testing thoughts, and building alternative habits. This approach can be useful for anxiety, depression, codependency patterns, and daily stress management.

She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy and EMDR-informed work to address traumatic memories and their ongoing effects. These approaches aim to reduce the emotional intensity of traumatic memories and teach coping tools for triggers and flashbacks. Motivational interviewing is another method she applies to help people find their own reasons for change and increase readiness when addiction or ambivalence is present.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and then try techniques that fit those needs. Adjustments are made as progress is tracked and new challenges arise.

Session format options are not listed here, so confirm available online formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and pacing for remote sessions so the work stays practical and focused.
