About Genna
Genna Lo Presti is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who centers Jungian ideas alongside practical therapies to help people reconnect with their sense of self. She writes plainly about how past wounds, insecure attachments, and everyday pressures can erode self-worth. Genna focuses on lowering anxiety, easing depression, and addressing relationship and intimacy problems through honest, grounded dialogue.
She brings 22 years of clinical experience in psychiatric and behavioral health settings.
Background and approach
Her background includes work with trauma, addictions, grief, eating concerns, bipolar mood challenges, ADHD, and caregiving stress. Genna blends approaches such as cognitive behavioral tools, acceptance strategies, attachment-based work, and client-centered listening to tailor sessions to each person. In sessions she keeps language simple and direct.
Genna listens first, then helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck. She often invites reflection on early attachments and recurring life themes to free more choice in daily living. Genna values humor and a human tone in therapy.
She uses lightness and occasional impersonations to ease tension while addressing serious material. The aim is practical change over time - small shifts that reduce distress and improve relationships. She trained for her Bachelor of Arts in 2006 and Master of Social Work in 2010, and earned Florida LCSW licensure in 2014.
Her work emphasizes respect for each person’s story and a collaborative path forward.

Therapeutic Approaches and What Online Work Looks Like
Genna often combines Jungian perspectives with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based work to address core patterns and day-to-day struggles. Jungian ideas focus on recurring life themes and inner imagery to help people understand long-standing patterns and sources of meaning. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) uses practical exercises to notice thoughts and feelings and move toward values-based action. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early bonds and how they shape closeness, communication, and trust in current relationships.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Genna listens to each person’s history, goals, and preferences and then recommends methods to try together. She adjusts the mix over time so the work stays relevant and useful for everyday life.
Online therapy offers flexibility that some people need. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging is helpful for quick reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules and to keep momentum between appointments.
