About Genny
Genny Luppino, LPC, centers her work on Narrative approaches while drawing on several practical therapies to help people untangle current struggles. She offers an open, direct style that aims to make sessions useful from the start. Her manner is warm and nonjudgmental and she focuses on helping clients build skills they can use outside of sessions.
Genny brings ten years of clinical experience, including time as a team-based therapist and case manager in community mental health.
Background and approach
That background shaped her work with people facing anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, substance use, and major life changes. She has supported people through grief, identity questions related to gender and sexual orientation, and challenges with self-esteem and confidence. In session she combines Narrative Therapy with cognitive and acceptance-based techniques.
She also uses client-centered and attachment-focused ideas to keep the work grounded in each person's story and relationships. Her approach is practical - clients learn skills, try them between sessions, and adjust the plan as needed. She describes herself as proactive: after the first two meetings, sessions usually include active therapeutic work.
Genny partners with clients to set pace and goals so therapy fits their needs. She aims to help people feel more in control and better able to move forward. Genny practices online from Michigan and works with adults across a variety of concerns.
She offers weekday and weekend appointments in daytime and evening hours to fit different schedules.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Genny directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
Using Narrative and Action-Oriented Therapies Online
Genny often blends Narrative Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas to help people make sense of painful events and build skills to cope. Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and the change that comes from re-authoring those stories. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical ways to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while taking actions that match a person's values. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape expectations and patterns in current connections.Choosing an approach is usually a collaborative process. Genny will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which combination of narrative work, acceptance skills, or relationship-focused exploration feels right and adjust the plan over time.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for this style of work. Video calls let the therapist and client interact face-to-face when a deeper conversation is needed. Phone sessions can be easier on low-bandwidth days or when video feels too demanding. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, skill practice between sessions, and flexible communication during busy weeks. These options make it easier to fit therapeutic work into everyday life.
