Background and approach

Genevieve draws on six years of clinical experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW and a Licensed Independent Social Worker - LISW. She holds KY LCSW 259190 and OH LISW I.2304449. Sessions focus on what the person needs now.

Genevieve mixes body-focused techniques with cognitive and acceptance-based tools. That combination can help when anxiety, grief, chronic pain, or addiction are getting in the way of daily life. She also addresses relational and identity concerns such as intimacy, communication, parenting stress, and LGBT matters.

Additional areas include chronic illness, caregiver strain, and recovery from substance use. The work aims to build practical skills and clearer self-understanding. Therapy is a collaborative process where goals are set together.

Genevieve offers sessions using video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How somatic and evidence-based approaches work online

Somatic work helps people tune into physical sensations and learn how the body stores stress. It often involves gentle awareness of breath, posture, and movement alongside talking, and can be useful for trauma, chronic pain, and anxiety. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while choosing actions that match personal values. It can help with depression, avoidance, and life changes. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and pace, with the therapist listening closely and responding with empathy to build trust and clarity.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust over time to match progress and needs.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face work while phone sessions can reduce screen fatigue. Live chat and text-based messaging provide short-touch options for check-ins or when scheduling is tight. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while still accessing licensed professionals who can guide somatic, ACT, and client-centered work.
