About Gena

Gena Taylor-Tidwell is a licensed counselor practicing in Kentucky who combines clinical rigor with a relaxed, personable style to support people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma, depression, and life transitions. With four years of experience, she emphasizes an individualized approach that adapts to each person’s needs and preferences. She creates a supportive atmosphere where clients can explore their concerns openly, and she is willing to use appropriate humor to help build rapport and ease tension.

Gena frequently integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy techniques, helping clients identify unhelpful thought patterns, develop practical coping strategies, and learn skills for managing strong emotions. The first session centers on understanding a client’s reasons for seeking help and mapping a clear plan for treatment. Throughout therapy she provides resources and tailors interventions to fit the goals and circumstances of each person, guiding them to challenge maladaptive thoughts and practice concrete strategies for emotional regulation and improved functioning.

Therapy is offered in English, and Gena aims to work collaboratively so clients feel empowered to set the pace and direction of their therapeutic work.

Evidence-Based Methods and Online Therapy Options

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It focuses on practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and to improve day-to-day functioning. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially useful for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. Both approaches are skills-oriented and suited to structured, goal-focused work.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and is determined collaboratively. Gena works with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then tailors techniques and pacing so the plan fits each person’s life and priorities. This collaborative stance helps ensure the chosen methods feel workable and relevant.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging allow people to access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, maintain continuity during life changes, and connect with a therapist in a format that feels most comfortable for the client.
