About Genny

Genny Luppino is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 10 years of clinical experience. She offers online practice and has a background in community mental health as a team-based therapist and case manager.

She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and challenges related to ADHD and addictions. She also supports those dealing with grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, body image and eating issues, sleep problems, and career or life transitions. Guilt and shame appear among the concerns she addresses in her work.

Her earlier roles included providing care within community mental health settings for more than three years, and assisting people in recovery from substance use and relapse. She has worked with people who experienced physical or emotional trauma in both childhood and adulthood. She has supported people exploring gender identity and sexual orientation issues within LGBTQA+ communities.

Her counseling style blends person-centered and cognitive-behavioral elements with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools. Sessions are described as practical and skill-based after the initial meetings, focusing on learning techniques that remain useful beyond therapy. She emphasizes respect and nonjudgmental interactions.

Genny notes experience across the lifespan, having provided services for children, adolescents, adults, and older adults in past roles. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session options before booking and to use the site matching steps to schedule a first appointment.

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small actions that matter, which can help with guilt, shame, anxiety, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It introduces concrete strategies to test unhelpful thoughts and build different habits, useful for depression, anxiety, and sleep or eating concerns.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal balance. It can be helpful when anger, overwhelm, or relationship patterns make daily life harder.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Genny will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice can shift as needs change and as skills are tried in real life.

Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make regular check-ins easier to fit into a busy week, allow shorter goal-focused visits, or remove travel time. Discuss scheduling preferences and session length when you arrange the first appointment so sessions match everyday needs.
