About Genevieve

Genevieve (Genny) Gravina is a New York LMHC with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and life purpose concerns. Sessions also address self-esteem, parenting strains, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue.

Genny uses straightforward, practical approaches in session. She listens for the patterns that keep people stuck and helps them try different ways of responding. That may mean using cognitive behavioral techniques to test unhelpful thoughts, practicing DBT skills for intense emotions, or using narrative work to reframe difficult life chapters.

Her background blends several therapy styles so she can adapt to what a person needs. Genny emphasizes building useful skills and clearer communication. She also pays attention to attachment and body image themes when they show up in relationships or self-worth struggles.

People working with her can expect goal-focused conversations and concrete tools to practice between meetings. She frames progress as small changes that add up over time. Genny encourages people to notice what helps and to adjust plans when something isn’t working.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients in New York begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. International clients are not accepted, and sessions are offered in English.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients feel understood and can explore what matters most. It helps people clarify values and next steps when they feel stuck.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small experiments. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and problems that respond to step-by-step skill practice.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills for overwhelming feelings and relationship conflict. Those tools are practical to practice between sessions and often reduce reactivity over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice may shift as progress is made or new challenges arise.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weeknight or a break at work, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals often use these advantages to help people practice skills in their daily life and to keep therapy consistent with busy schedules.
