About Genny

Genny Luppino is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Michigan who centers work around Internal Family Systems along with other evidence-informed methods.

Background and approach

She brings a decade of clinical experience, including more than three years in community mental health as a team-based therapist and case manager, to an online independent practice where she offers weekday and weekend appointment times.

Genny works with clients across the lifespan and has supported people facing ADHD, depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, substance use concerns, and self-esteem and life transition challenges. Her style is warm, engaging, and nonjudgmental, emphasizing respect, dignity, and compassion.

She blends person-centered techniques with cognitive-behavioral tools, acceptance-oriented strategies, and attachment-focused perspectives to tailor treatment to each client's needs. Genny describes herself as proactive, focusing on practical skills and therapeutic tasks beginning early in the process so clients can build coping strategies that endure beyond therapy.

Accessible via multiple online formats, she is experienced with issues related to gender identity and sexual orientation and with a range of additional concerns such as grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting, chronic illness, body image, and codependency.

Prospective clients are invited to begin by selecting the Start Therapy button and completing a short matching questionnaire to schedule based on therapist availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Genny typically integrates Internal Family Systems with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based perspectives to guide online work. Internal Family Systems helps people explore internal parts and their relationships to one another, which can be useful for processing trauma, managing anxiety, and improving self-leadership. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on identifying values and taking committed action while learning skills for coping with difficult thoughts and feelings, often helpful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes understanding relational patterns and emotional bonds, offering tools for people working through relationship wounds or attachment-related difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then adapt methods so interventions feel practical and relevant. That collaborative stance supports tailoring pacing, homework, and in-session focus to what the client finds most helpful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make scheduling more flexible for people balancing work, family, or health constraints. These options allow for consistent follow-up, skill practice between sessions, and easier access to a licensed professional from home or another convenient location.
