Gena Taylor-Tidwell, LPC, LPCC

Gena Taylor-Tidwell is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPC) and LPCC practicing in Kentucky. She brings four years of clinical experience and aims to create a calm, approachable space where people can talk about what feels hard. Her style is clinical but relaxed, and she often uses humor when it helps people feel at ease.

She focuses on stress and anxiety along with relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, and coping with life changes. Early sessions concentrate on understanding why someone sought help and deciding the best path forward. That first meeting sets clear goals and practical next steps.

Gena uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy techniques to support clients. She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding to strong emotions. She also offers tools and resources to practice between sessions.

Sessions tend to be practical and skills-based, with time spent practicing strategies in real situations. Gena adapts her approach to each person and will suggest strategies that fit daily life. She aims for small, manageable changes rather than big, overwhelming plans.

People looking for help with persistent worry, low mood, or life transitions may find this approach useful. The work moves at a steady pace and focuses on building concrete skills to manage stress and emotional reactions.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Gena commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy techniques. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and challenge unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors to reduce worry and low mood. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy techniques focus on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and building skills to manage intense feelings and improve coping.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Gena will listen to your goals and help decide which techniques fit best for your situation. She tailors strategies and adjusts the plan as you try tools and report what works or doesn’t.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can guide skill practice between meetings so techniques transfer to everyday life.
