About Genna
Genna Lo Presti is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida. She blends practical talk and thoughtful reflection to help people notice how their thoughts and everyday habits shape relationships and emotional life. Her voice is direct and warm, and she often uses humor to ease tense moments in sessions.
With 22 years of experience, Genna draws on several clinical approaches to match what each person needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside attachment-focused work and client-centered listening. That mix helps with issues like anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and problems with intimacy or self-esteem.
Genna has worked in acute psychiatric and behavioral health settings across most of her career. Her training includes a Bachelor’s degree earned in 2006 and a Master’s degree earned in 2010, with LCSW licensure granted in 2014. She brings that background into practical, day-to-day strategies her clients can try between sessions.
She talks plainly about how past experiences and insecure attachments affect present behavior. Genna helps people notice reactionary patterns, try new ways of responding, and reclaim a sense of worth. Sessions focus on concrete steps rather than abstract theory.
Genna is an attentive listener who treats each person as a whole. She invites clients to explore feelings with curiosity, to use small experiments, and to practice new habits. The goal is to feel less consumed and more able to move forward.

How these approaches translate online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical changes you can practice between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns shape current responses and helps people try new ways of relating and feeling safer in connections.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods to try first. That collaborative process means strategies are adjusted over time based on what helps you make small, real changes.
The original biography does not specify which online formats are used, so confirm session options before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and letting clients schedule sessions around work or caregiving responsibilities. For many people, this flexibility makes it simpler to practice new habits between meetings and keep steady momentum toward their goals.
