About Genee

Genee Tinsley brings a practical, evidence-informed approach to therapy grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and mindfulness practices.

Background and approach

As a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (FL LMHC MH16153) with nine years of clinical experience, she works with people facing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy difficulties, ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, and parenting and family stress.

Her style is warm and interactive, prioritizing respect, sensitivity, and compassionate collaboration rather than stigmatizing labels. Genee adapts treatment to fit each person’s situation, drawing from DBT skills, existential reflection, and mindfulness techniques when appropriate.

She also addresses focused topics such as grief, self-esteem, obsessions and compulsions, communication and control issues, and life transitions like divorce or adoption and foster care concerns. Practicing in Florida, Genee offers flexible session formats to suit different needs and schedules.

She encourages people to view the decision to begin therapy as a courageous step toward greater coping, clarity, and wellbeing, and aims to support clients through tailored interventions and ongoing partnership.

Integrating therapeutic approaches for online care

Genee draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, a practical approach often used for anxiety, depression, OCD, and many mood-related concerns. She also uses client-centered therapy, which emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental connection and supports clients in exploring their values, emotions, and goals at their own pace. When appropriate, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills are introduced to build emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for those struggling with intense emotions or impulsivity.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with each person to clarify goals, review preferences, and adjust methods over time so the plan fits what the client needs and hopes to accomplish.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility in how people engage in therapy. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, continue care during transitions, and access support from home or other convenient locations while working with a licensed professional.
