Gena Taylor-Tidwell, LPC, LPCC

Gena Taylor-Tidwell is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, LPC and LPCC, practicing in Kentucky. She offers a calm, clinical style that still feels approachable. Gena aims to make it easier to talk about stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, and big life changes. Sessions begin by looking at why someone is seeking help and what they want to change. Gena uses straightforward techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and build new ways to cope. She blends practical skill teaching with a relaxed tone and occasional humor when it fits. Early sessions focus on setting goals and choosing strategies that match a person’s needs. She often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. Gena also uses Dialectical Behavioral Therapy techniques to teach emotional regulation and coping skills for intense feelings. The work is collaborative: she helps people practice new skills, try them between sessions, and adjust the plan when needed. Gena provides resources and tailors her approach to what helps the individual most. People looking for clear, skills-based support for depression and related concerns will find a practical, steady approach. Sessions aim to leave people with concrete tools to handle stress and move toward their goals.
