Genevieve (Genny) Gravina, LMHC - Therapist in New York

About Genevieve

Genevieve (Genny) Gravina brings a client-centered approach to therapy. She helps parents and families manage stress, worry, relationship strain, and the everyday demands of parenting. Genny keeps sessions focused and practical so parents can use new tools between meetings.

She is a licensed mental health counselor, LMHC, practicing in New York with six years of experience. Genny blends cognitive behavioral techniques with dialectical behavior skills and mindfulness practice. She uses these methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, build coping skills, and respond more calmly during family conflict.

Background and approach

Sessions often include simple exercises to try at home and realistic steps for changing routines. Her work covers mood concerns like anxiety, depression, and bipolar mood patterns, as well as eating and sleeping problems. She also addresses intimacy, communication problems, codependency, attachment issues, and questions about self-esteem and self-love.

Genny pays attention to how family dynamics shape daily life and decisions. In meetings she aims to be straightforward and compassionate. Conversations are collaborative - she listens and then offers tools tailored to each situation.

Parents can expect clear strategies for managing behavior, improving communication, and reducing household stress. Genny offers therapy by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Sessions run through a subscription system that can be canceled at any time.

She conducts sessions in English and practices in New York as NY LMHC 011508.

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and understanding each person's experience. The therapist follows the client's lead, offers empathy, and helps people name what matters most in their family life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to ease anxiety or low mood. These techniques are useful for managing stress, sleep problems, and mood shifts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each client to decide whether CBT, DBT skills, or a client-centered stance feels most helpful. Goals, daily routines, and preferences guide that decision, and the plan can change as needs evolve.

Online therapy brings flexibility for busy families. Video calls let parents meet face to face from home, phone sessions work when schedules are tight, and live chat or text-based messaging make brief check-ins and skill practice easier between sessions. These options help fit therapy into real life and support steady progress over time.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
