About Genevieve
Genevieve (Genny) Gravina is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who draws on cognitive behavioral therapy alongside client-centered and mindfulness-informed methods to support clients navigating stress, anxiety, relationships, and mood concerns.
Background and approach
She blends practical skills work with compassionate listening, helping people examine patterns, build coping strategies, and strengthen self-awareness in ways that fit their daily lives. With six years of clinical experience, Genny brings both structured interventions and an empathic therapeutic presence to sessions.
Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, intimacy and family problems, eating and sleeping difficulties, and challenges with self-esteem and life transitions. Additional areas of focus include attachment issues, body image and codependency, communication problems, guilt and shame, social anxiety, and questions about life purpose.
She frames therapy as a collaborative process, partnering with clients to set goals and apply approaches like CBT, DBT skills, and mindfulness to real-world situations. Based in New York, Genny offers therapy in English and provides multiple session formats to match clients’ needs.
She emphasizes practical tools alongside exploration of personal narratives so clients can move toward more satisfying relationships and greater emotional balance.
Online approaches that combine skills and self-exploration
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and homework; it is often applied to anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many stress-related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist offers support and reflection to help clients explore values, self-esteem, and personal goals. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for intense emotions, relationship difficulties, and coping during life transitions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to assess their needs, goals, and preferences and will adapt methods over time so treatment matches what is most helpful for the person in front of her.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to fit sessions into busy schedules and access support from home or wherever they are. These formats can make it easier to practice skills between sessions and maintain continuity of care when life is changing, while still allowing for thoughtful therapeutic work and development of practical strategies.
