About Catherine
Catherine Geniti is a licensed mental health counselor with 18 years of practice in New York. She focuses on helping people navigate family conflict, parenting stresses, trauma and abuse, anger, and self-esteem concerns. Catherine emphasizes that clients are the experts on their own lives and brings a practical, supportive presence to sessions.
Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. She listens to each person’s story and helps identify strengths to build on. That might look like sorting priorities, setting small goals, or practicing new ways to respond in tense moments.
Catherine often works with issues tied to adoption and foster care, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, and divorce or separation. She also supports people dealing with guilt, forgiveness, and learning to practice self-love. Conversations focus on clear steps and real-life adjustments rather than jargon.
Over nearly two decades she has seen many family patterns and parenting strains. That experience informs practical ideas for boundary setting, reducing conflict, and managing anger when it arises. Sessions aim to leave people with tools they can try between meetings.
People will find a calm, steady presence who validates their experience and helps them plan next steps. The first session is treated as a chance to understand what matters most and to choose a path forward that fits each person’s daily life.
How therapy approaches shape online work
Catherine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and skill building. One approach emphasizes identifying strengths and using them to solve current problems; this helps with family conflict, parenting challenges, and rebuilding trust after difficult events. Another approach centers on emotion regulation and behavior change, which can reduce angry responses and improve day-to-day interactions.Choosing the right approach usually happens together. The therapist will ask about your goals, daily routines, and what has or hasn’t helped before. That conversation guides decisions about which techniques to try and how to pace sessions so they fit your needs and preferences.
Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy weeks, shorten travel time, and provide flexible ways to check in between appointments. Some people prefer shorter check-ins when a full session is hard to schedule, while others use longer meetings for deeper work. The focus is on creating useful habits and practical tools that translate into everyday life.
