Genny Luppino is a licensed professional counselor in Michigan who uses practical, goal-focused therapy to help people manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and life changes. She brings ten years of clinical experience and a straightforward, warm style to online sessions. She meets people where they are and creates a calm space to talk.
Genny emphasizes skill-building so clients leave sessions with tools to use between appointments. Her approach is active - after the first couple of meetings she focuses on doing therapeutic work together.
Background and approach
Genny has worked in community mental health as a team therapist and case manager. That background gave her experience with substance use, trauma, grief, and complex co-occurring issues. She has supported people dealing with ADHD, depression, bipolar challenges, and recovery from abuse.
Her work also includes supporting questions of gender identity and sexual orientation, caregiver stress, chronic illness, parenting concerns, and career challenges. She adapts techniques from cognitive behavioral methods, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-based thinking, and person-centered care to suit each person’s needs.
Sessions are offered through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Genny invites prospective clients to take a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment when they are ready to begin.
How therapy approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It teaches values-based action so someone can move toward a meaningful life even when challenges remain. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Attachment-Based Therapy addresses how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people rebuild more supported ways of relating and coping with loss or trauma.Choosing an approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that fit their needs and pace. Over early sessions she will adjust techniques based on what feels helpful, and she focuses on teaching skills clients can use outside session time.
Online therapy offers flexibility and makes it easier to get regular care. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging provide brief, written support between sessions and can fit into busy days. These options help people stay consistent with therapy around work, school, caregiving, and other commitments.
