Somatic and Skills-Based Care Online

Genny integrates somatic work with evidence-informed skills to help people feel more grounded in daily life. Somatic work involves simple body-based practices such as breathing, grounding, and noticing physical sensations to reduce stress and increase bodily awareness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to shift mood and routines. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication.

Finding the best fit is a collaborative process. Genny will talk with each person about their goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Clients and therapist work together to mix body-focused exercises with skill practice in a way that feels practical and respectful of personal preferences.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more accessible. These options allow people to practice skills between sessions and get support from home or work. The variety of formats also helps those with busy schedules maintain continuity and flexibility in care.
