About Genny
Genny Luppino is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who focuses on practical, skills-based therapy for everyday struggles. She works with adults across a wide range of concerns, including ADHD, anxiety, depression, stress, grief, and substance use issues. Sessions aim to be direct and useful so people leave with tools they can use right away.
Genny draws from several evidence-informed approaches to match each person’s needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help shift unhelpful thoughts and build useful habits.
Background and approach
Attachment-based ideas and client-centered care guide how she listens and responds during sessions. Her style is warm, engaged, and nonjudgmental. Genny describes herself as proactive - after the first couple of sessions she focuses on tangible therapeutic work and skill-building.
She encourages people to set their own pace and goals so therapy fits their life. Before independent practice she worked in community mental health as a team-based therapist and case manager, supporting people with trauma, recovery, and identity-related concerns. That background informs her practical, problem-solving orientation today.
Sessions are available by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. She speaks English and offers care from Michigan, using an approach tailored to each person’s goals and daily demands.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Genny uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. ACT is useful for anxiety, stress, and working through life changes when learning new habits matters.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. CBT focuses on practical exercises and skills you can practice between sessions, which is helpful for mood, ADHD-related challenges, and coping with daily stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made. That teamwork helps create clear goals and regular steps forward.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video lets you use visual cues and deeper conversation, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a shorter break. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skill reminders, or when writing feels easier than talking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, school, and family obligations.
