Kristen Gennety

Kristen Gennety is a licensed social worker who focuses on practical, down-to-earth therapy. She uses clients' strengths and humor to make hard conversations easier and to help people move forward. Kristen’s style aims to be warm and non-judgmental while staying focused on real problems.

Kristen has four years of professional experience working with stress and anxiety, depression, and attention challenges such as ADHD. She also helps people navigate relationship strain, family conflict, grief, and anger. Her approach is grounded in collaboration - she treats the client’s perspective as central to the process.

In sessions she draws on several well-known approaches, including acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-based thinking, cognitive behavioral tools, dialectical behavior strategies, and client-centered methods. That variety lets her match techniques to each person’s situation and goals. Conversations are practical and goal-oriented while still honoring feelings and history.

Kristen emphasizes building on strengths and keeping therapy tailored to who the person already is. She often uses gentle humor and straightforward language to lower tension and open up discussion. People who choose her can expect a cooperative process that balances problem-solving with understanding.

How Kristen uses approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then take action that fits their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and motivation. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and focuses on rebuilding safer ways of connecting and communicating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kristen collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit best. Together they set goals, try strategies, and make adjustments based on what helps most for daily life and relationships.

Confirm current session options before booking to learn what formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy routine, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins during a lunch break or between errands. It also makes it simpler to keep continuity of care when schedules shift, while the therapist and client focus on skills, communication, and small changes that support coping and growth.
