About Kristen
Kristen Gennety is a licensed social worker who uses attachment-based ideas to help people feel steadier in relationships and everyday life. She draws on practical therapies to address anxiety, depression, and stress. Kristen works in a warm, straightforward way so people can talk honestly about what hurts.
She has four years of clinical experience and holds an LMSW, which is a licensed master social worker credential. Kristen focuses on common struggles like low self-esteem, motivation, and grief.
Background and approach
She also supports people coping with ADHD, compassion fatigue, and the emotional fallout from trauma or abuse. In sessions she blends client-centered listening with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy. That means she listens first, then offers concrete skills to manage thoughts, feelings, and behavior.
She uses simple mindfulness and DBT techniques when people need help with emotional regulation and impulsivity. Kristen pays attention to patterns that come from early relationships. She helps people notice how those patterns affect connection, trust, and intimacy now.
Work often includes practicing new ways to communicate and small experiments to change unhelpful habits. Her style is compassionate and down-to-earth. She values humor and personal strengths while helping people make steady change.
Kristen is based in Michigan and provides services in English for adults seeking help with life transitions and relationship concerns.

Online support
Attachment-informed care and practical online tools
Kristen draws on attachment-based therapy to track how early relationship patterns show up now, helping people understand trust, closeness, and communication. Attachment work often involves noticing repeat behaviors and trying new interaction patterns to improve connection. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, is used to help people accept difficult feelings while moving toward meaningful goals, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through clear steps and practice, useful for stress, mood, and impulse control.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kristen will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. She listens first, then introduces tools and practices over time, adjusting based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexible options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use body language and nuance during sessions, phone sessions work when video is difficult or bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text can be useful for quick check-ins or when someone prefers writing. These formats make scheduling easier and can fit sessions into a busy life while allowing the same therapeutic approaches to be practiced remotely.
