Catherine Geniti, LMHC

Catherine Geniti is a New York licensed counselor with 18 years of professional experience supporting individuals and families through difficult life transitions. She holds the credential LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor - and has spent nearly two decades helping clients address family conflicts, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, anger management, and concerns around self-esteem.

Her work centers on the belief that each person is the expert on their own story and that existing strengths can be mobilized to overcome whatever is standing in the way of a more fulfilling life. Catherine draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the needs of each client, and she pays particular attention to issues that often arise in adoption and foster care, blended families, caregiver stress, divorce and separation, and parenting struggles.

Recognizing that seeking help requires courage, Catherine offers a supportive, collaborative approach designed to meet clients where they are. She aims to create a practical path forward, helping clients build skills, process difficult experiences, and reclaim a greater sense of well-being and self-compassion.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care

Many clients who work with Catherine rely on evidence-based techniques tailored to trauma and family dynamics. Trauma-focused approaches help people process painful experiences and reduce the ways those memories disrupt daily life, while family-focused strategies concentrate on improving communication, boundaries, and problem-solving among household members. Skills-based work for parenting and anger teaches practical tools for managing strong emotions, setting consistent limits, and strengthening parent-child relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Catherine collaborates with each client to identify what fits best. She considers a person’s goals, history, and preferences when adjusting techniques, and clients are active partners in shaping their care plan.

Online therapy makes it easier to access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide flexible ways to meet, schedule around busy lives, and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are difficult. For many people, this variety of options supports consistent progress and greater accessibility to treatment.
