Kristen Gennety, LMSW

Kristen Gennety is a Michigan-licensed therapist with four years of professional experience and holds an LMSW (Licensed Master Social Worker). She focuses on helping people navigate stress and anxiety, relationship challenges, family conflicts, low motivation, self-esteem and confidence issues, depression, and ADHD. Kristen blends a strengths-based, collaborative approach with warmth and gentle humor to make the therapeutic process approachable and effective.

She works to build an open, tailored environment that honors each person’s experience and preferences, adapting interventions to fit individual needs rather than fitting people to a single method. Kristen emphasizes compassion and non-judgment while encouraging clients to use their own strengths as tools for change. She recognizes that reaching out for therapy can feel difficult and values the courage it takes to begin. Kristen welcomes new clients and looks forward to supporting them in their next steps toward meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care That Fit Your Life

Kristen integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify personal values and take practical steps toward a meaningful life, even when difficult thoughts and feelings are present. ACT can be useful for issues like anxiety, stress, and motivation, where learning to act in line with values matters more than eliminating uncomfortable emotions.

She also draws from Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationship patterns shape current connections and emotional responses. This approach supports work on intimacy, trust, abandonment concerns, and communication problems by strengthening awareness of relational styles and building healthier bonds.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Kristen collaborates with each person to identify what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors techniques and pacing so therapy feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options allow clients to engage in sessions from home or work, fit therapy into busy schedules, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
