About Genna

Genna Cincogrono is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC, LMHC) based in Florida who helps people facing addiction, trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and self-esteem struggles. She has seven years of clinical experience and supports people dealing with grief, parenting stress, eating and sleeping issues, and major life transitions. Genna’s style is warm and direct, and she aims to empower clients to make practical changes in daily life.

In sessions she uses a mix of approaches to fit each person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and build new habits. Trauma-Focused Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing are part of her work with people who carry painful memories. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy help when the focus is on making changes or setting short-term goals.

Genna has experience in both the substance use field and private practice, and she currently holds leadership responsibilities at a substance abuse facility while maintaining a small practice. That background informs how she approaches addiction, relapse prevention, and cross-addiction concerns. She also notes experience working with people from many cultures and aims to offer culturally aware care.

Clients should expect a nonjudgmental, supportive atmosphere with clear, actionable steps between sessions. Genna encourages collaboration and practical problem solving, whether the work centers on mood, relationships, trauma, or behavioral change.

How trauma-focused and cognitive approaches translate online

Trauma-Focused Therapy works by helping people process upsetting memories and learn ways to reduce their daily impact. It often involves paced, guided techniques to address how past events affect current feelings and behavior.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. CBT is practical and skill-based, so clients often leave sessions with concrete exercises to try between meetings.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) uses structured processing to reduce the distress tied to traumatic memories. Sessions typically follow a step-by-step plan that prepares a person, processes material, and builds coping resources.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That choice can be adjusted over time as progress is made.

Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make fitting appointments into busy days easier, reduce travel, and allow follow-up work from home when attention and bandwidth are manageable. It can also let people meet with a licensed professional who offers particular trauma-focused or cognitive approaches even if local options are limited.

These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing trauma-focused therapy does not mean a therapist holds a specific certification such as TF-CBT, EMDR or CPT.
