Genna Cincogrono, LCMHC, LMHC

Genna Cincogrono is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor who focuses on addictions and related concerns. She helps people facing substance and alcohol problems, process and cross addictions, and the stress that comes with recovery. She also supports individuals dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, eating and sleeping struggles, and life transitions.

Genna brings seven years of experience working in the addiction field and private practice. She has served in clinical leadership at a substance use facility while maintaining a small practice in Florida. Her work includes addressing mood disorders, bipolar concerns, grief, low self-esteem, and behavior patterns like codependency and control issues.

Her style is warm and direct. She aims to empower clients to make realistic changes and to build skills that fit daily life. Sessions are described as nonjudgmental and culturally aware, with attention to each person’s background and values.

Genna uses several approaches to adapt care to each person. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thinking, Motivational Interviewing to strengthen readiness for change, and Trauma-Focused methods to process painful memories. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is also part of her toolkit when trauma work is appropriate.

People who come for help can expect collaborative goal-setting and practical steps between sessions. Her focus includes family and relationship patterns, parenting stress, addiction recovery, and rebuilding confidence. She works in English and accepts international clients.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Genna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and task-focused, often involving experiments and tools to try between sessions. EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is used for trauma-related memories and distress; it aims to reduce the intensity of painful recollections and the reactions they trigger.

Motivational Interviewing is another part of her toolkit and helps when someone is unsure about change. It focuses on listening, clarifying personal reasons for change, and strengthening motivation in a nonjudgmental way. Together these methods allow therapy to match a person’s needs and goals rather than relying on one single approach.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest approaches that fit those aims. Clients and therapist then try methods and adjust as needed until a good fit is found.

Please confirm current session options before booking since the biography does not list specific online formats. Online work can make scheduling easier, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time, which helps therapy fit into a busy life.
