About Genee

Genee Tinsley is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (FL LMHC) with nine years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, relationship problems, trauma, addictions, ADHD, and related mood issues.

Her style is interactive and person-focused. She listens without using labels and adapts conversation to practical concerns. Sessions aim to identify what is causing strain at home and to find manageable steps that fit everyday life.

Genee uses a mix of cognitive and human-centered approaches to help people change troublesome thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on mindfulness and skills from dialectical behavior therapy when emotions feel overwhelming or impulsive. Expect practical tools alongside time to talk through feelings and options.

She has experience supporting people after abuse, with substance use concerns, and with mood disorders such as bipolar and disruptive mood dysregulation disorder. She also works with those facing adoption or foster care questions, abandonment issues, and family communication problems.

Sessions focus on clear goals like reducing anxiety, improving parenting confidence, managing anger, or reducing compulsive behaviors. Genee encourages steady, realistic change so routines at home can be less stressful. To start, she asks about the most pressing problem and what would make life feel a bit easier.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Genee often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy approaches in sessions. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which helps with anxiety, depression, and compulsive problems. DBT offers emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills useful when anger, impulsivity, or intense emotions interfere with daily life.

She also draws on client-centered methods that prioritize listening and building a practical plan together. Finding the right mix is part of the early sessions. The therapist and client review goals, try approaches, and adjust based on what helps most for the client's situation and preferences.

Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day - for example a shorter check-in during a break, or a session that does not require extra travel time. It can also allow sessions when leaving the house would add stress. Licensed professionals can use a mix of discussion, skills practice, and simple between-session tasks to keep progress steady without large disruptions to routines.
