About Genna

Genna Lo Presti is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida with 22 years of clinical experience supporting people through relationship struggles, trauma, addiction, mood concerns, and life transitions. She approaches each person with a wide-angle view of how societal pressures, attachment patterns, and unresolved wounds shape self-worth and daily functioning, aiming to help clients recover a sense of intrinsic value and agency.

Trained in a range of modalities, Genna has worked extensively in acute psychiatric and behavioral health settings, integrating psychodynamic, existential, humanistic, cognitive behavioral, strength-based, inner-child, and trauma-focused methods to meet complex needs. She respects the person in relation to their environment and seeks to understand the whole individual rather than isolated symptoms, offering an earnest and compassionate clinical stance.

Her style blends attentive listening with warmth and a touch of humor - including light impersonations used as stress relief - to normalize human difficulty while highlighting individual resilience. Genna helps clients explore attachment patterns, manage anxiety and depression, address addictions and intimacy-related issues, and navigate parenting, grief, and identity concerns. With a steady, person-centered focus, she guides clients toward clearer perspective and more sustainable ways of relating to themselves and others.

Genna earned a bachelor’s degree in 2006, a master’s degree in 2010, and obtained clinical licensure as an LCSW in 2014. She welcomes adults seeking thoughtful, experienced support for emotional and relational growth.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise - it is useful for anxiety, avoidance, and navigating life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding how early and current relationship patterns influence emotional safety and intimacy, making it helpful for relationship problems, abandonment concerns, and attachment wounds. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical skills to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, supporting work on depression, anxiety, stress, and coping strategies.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Genna collaborates with each person to determine what fits best. She draws from multiple methods and tailors care based on a client’s needs, goals, and preferences, working together to adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Genna includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain consistent sessions, access care from home or work, and continue progress even when life circumstances shift. Licensed professionals can adapt these formats to offer attentive, goal-oriented treatment that fits modern routines.
