Kristen Gennety

Kristen Gennety is a licensed social worker in Michigan who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and relationship concerns. She brings four years of professional experience to sessions and emphasizes a warm, down-to-earth approach. Kristen aims to make reaching out feel possible and straightforward for someone taking that first step.

She uses practical tools from therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different coping skills. Kristen also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy and attachment-based ideas to support people working through grief, trauma, ADHD symptoms, or intimacy-related concerns.

Sessions are shaped around each person’s strengths and everyday life. Kristen says humor can be part of the work when it helps, and she focuses on building a compassionate, nonjudgmental space. She encourages clients to point out what’s important so goals stay personal and realistic.

Her additional focus areas include body image, codependency, communication and control issues, divorce and separation, and coping with isolation or loneliness. Kristen also helps people dealing with compassion fatigue, career stress, and eating or food-related problems.

She respects that people know their own stories best and aims to be a steady partner for change. If someone wants to start, she invites them to take the first step and schedule a conversation.

How therapy styles guide online work

Kristen often uses acceptance and commitment therapy to help people notice their values and take small steps that match what matters to them. ACT can be useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes.

She also draws from attachment-based therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. That approach helps with intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, and communication problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they pick methods and practical exercises that fit the person’s life and pace.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel. They also let people use quieter surroundings, spend less time commuting, or choose a shorter check-in when time is tight. Licensed professionals adapt techniques like ACT and attachment-based work so tools can be practiced between sessions and applied day to day.
