About Kristen

Kristen Gennety is a licensed LMSW clinician in Michigan who integrates evidence-based strategies with a warm, strengths-focused stance. She blends cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness-informed methods with client-centered care to address concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship and family difficulties, and compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

Kristen emphasizes practical skill-building alongside exploration of values and interpersonal patterns to help clients navigate emotional and behavioral challenges. Her work favors collaboration and uses clients' existing strengths and sense of humor as resources in therapy.

Kristen creates a respectful, nonjudgmental atmosphere where people are invited to name what matters to them and try new ways of coping. With four years of professional experience, she aims to tailor sessions to individual needs, supporting clients through life changes, grief, trauma-related concerns, self-esteem and body-image struggles, and issues around intimacy and communication.

Kristen encourages prospective clients to recognize the courage it takes to seek help and offers a straightforward path to begin. She approaches each person with patience and curiosity, helping them set goals and practice skills that fit their day-to-day life.

Integrating evidence-based approaches into online care



Kristen often draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify their values and take committed action toward them, using mindfulness and experiential exercises to reduce the impact of painful thoughts and feelings. She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore relational patterns and how early connections influence current relationships, which can be useful for intimacy, communication, and trust-related concerns. These approaches are used alongside client-centered principles that prioritize each person's experience and strengths, helping tailor the work to specific goals and challenges.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Kristen partners with clients to identify which methods feel most useful, adjusting techniques over time based on what helps the individual make progress toward their goals and cope more effectively with daily demands.

Online therapy with Kristen is offered through flexible formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules or for those who prefer remote options. These formats support continuity of care and allow work on skills, values-based goals, and relational patterns from home or another convenient location.
