About Catherine
Catherine Geniti is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with 18 years of professional experience. She works with adults facing family conflicts, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, anger, and self-esteem concerns. Catherine frames people as experts in their own stories and looks for existing strengths to build on during sessions.
Her approach is practical and direct. She listens for what is causing stress in day-to-day life and helps people identify small changes that can reduce conflict. Sessions focus on clear steps, coping skills, and talking through difficult moments so they feel more manageable.
Catherine also addresses issues related to adoption and foster care, blended family issues, caregiver stress, divorce and separation, and family problems. She helps clients untangle guilt, shame, and forgiveness questions while supporting development of healthier self-regard.
Work in Catherine's room tends to be goal-oriented. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to reduce distress and improve functioning on concrete problems like parenting struggles or anger reactions. The emphasis is on what the person can try between sessions and how to track progress.
People who come for help can expect straightforward feedback and practical tools. Catherine asks about the patterns that keep repeating and helps create a plan to change them. She encourages small experiments and regular check-ins to measure what’s helping.
How evidence-based techniques are used online
Many of the methods Catherine uses are standard evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and practice. One approach centers on identifying unhelpful patterns and replacing them with concrete coping strategies that reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day functioning. This helps with anger, parenting stress, and repetitive family conflicts.Another common technique aims at processing traumatic experiences in ways that reduce their hold on current behavior. It focuses on learning to recognize triggers, manage strong emotions, and gradually build tolerance for distressing memories. These steps can help with trauma, guilt, shame, and self-esteem work.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Catherine will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She checks in and adjusts the plan as issues change over time.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when days are tight, and remove travel time that can interrupt routines. Ask about the exact session formats offered when you complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
