About Genny
Genny Luppino is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who brings ten years of experience to online therapy. She works with adults and older adults on problems like anxiety, depression, stress, ADHD, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, and coping with life changes. Her tone is warm and straightforward, and she focuses on practical skills people can use between sessions.
Genny uses a somatic-informed approach alongside acceptance and commitment strategies and cognitive behavioral techniques.
Background and approach
She also draws on attachment and client-centered ideas to tailor sessions to each person’s needs. Sessions often include skills practice, reflection, and ways to notice how the body reacts to distress. Her background includes team-based work and case management in community mental health as well as an online independent practice.
She has experience supporting people dealing with trauma, substance use struggles, body image, parenting stress, caregiving strain, and identity concerns for LGBTQA+ individuals. Genny has worked with a wide variety of life challenges and co-occurring concerns. She describes her style as engaged, proactive, and nonjudgmental.
After the first couple of sessions she focuses on concrete therapeutic work and skill-building. Clients set the pace and goals, and she helps them practice tools that can last beyond therapy. Sessions are offered through video, phone, live chat, and text messaging.
To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules based on the platform’s availability.
How her approaches work in online therapy
Somatic-informed work pays attention to how stress and emotion show up in the body. It helps people notice physical cues like tension, breath changes, or restlessness and learn simple moves or breathing to reduce overwhelm. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and small actions. It teaches ways to accept difficult thoughts while committing to steps that move someone toward a meaningful life. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from early relationships and how they affect current connections; it can help people understand triggers in relationships and build more supported ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the process and it is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try techniques in sessions, and adjust the plan as needed. Clients help set the pace so the work fits their comfort and desired outcomes.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. That makes it easier to fit sessions into busy days, practice skills between meetings, and connect from home or work. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver skills practice, check-ins, and reflective conversation that support steady progress.
