About Genna
Genna Lo Presti is a licensed clinical social worker who centers her practice on helping people reconnect with their sense of worth. She uses a warm, direct style and practical conversation to help people notice the small patterns that get in the way of intimacy and joy.
Her tone blends straightforward guidance with a bit of humor to make difficult topics easier to talk about. She draws on 22 years of experience in psychiatric and behavioral health settings.
Background and approach
That background shaped her into a clinician comfortable with trauma, mood concerns, addictions, and relationship difficulties. Genna pays attention to how everyday pressures and past wounds affect self-esteem and day-to-day functioning. Genna brings together several approaches to suit each person’s needs.
She uses cognitive behavioral tools to tackle unhelpful thinking and behavior. She leans on attachment-based ideas to help people understand patterns in relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps clients name values and take small, meaningful steps toward them.
Sessions are conversational and focused. Genna listens for recurring reactions that cause pain and helps people try new responses. She includes practical exercises, reflection, and gentle challenges so people can practice different ways of relating to themselves and others.
People who come to her often want help with anxiety, depression, grief, intimacy issues, parenting stress, or recovery from trauma. She also supports concerns around eating, ADHD, bipolar mood patterns, and compassion fatigue. Her approach is collaborative - she helps each person find the pace and tools that fit their life.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches that work online
Genna commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside client-centered work. ACT helps people name what matters to them and take small, values-based steps even when hard feelings are present. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and coping with life changes.Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationship patterns and how early bonds shape current reactions. This approach helps people who struggle with intimacy, abandonment fears, or recurring communication problems. Client-centered work keeps the focus on the person's experience, offering a steady, nonjudgmental space to talk and try new responses.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about their history, goals, and daily life and then recommend strategies to try. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps and what feels manageable.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera, and live chat or text messaging can support quick check-ins or brief reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep progress moving forward.
