About Catherine
Catherine Geniti is a licensed mental health counselor in New York with 18 years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with family conflict, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, anger, and self-esteem concerns. She encourages clients to recognize their strengths and to take steps toward a more fulfilling life. Catherine frames the first appointment as a brave step and offers steady support through the process.
Over nearly two decades in practice she has worked with a wide range of family-related concerns. Her background includes helping people navigate blended family issues, divorce and separation, caregiver stress, and the emotional effects of adoption and foster care. Catherine focuses on practical ways to manage anger, rebuild trust after hurt, and strengthen self-worth.
In sessions she centers the client’s experience and treats each person as the expert on their own story. She listens for the strengths people already use and builds on those resources. Her approach emphasizes clear, manageable steps rather than long lists of abstract concepts.
Clients can expect a supportive, straightforward style during meetings. Catherine aims to help people define small goals and practice new ways of coping between sessions. The work often includes talking through difficult memories and developing tools to handle day-to-day stress.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Catherine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change. One common approach is trauma-focused work that helps people process difficult memories in manageable steps, reduce intense emotional reactions, and build safety skills for everyday life. Another approach addresses family and parenting struggles by identifying patterns of interaction, improving communication, and practicing small behavior changes that reduce conflict and stress.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which technique to try first and adjust the plan as progress is made.
