Georgianne Nacionales

Georgianne Nacionales, LCSW, uses a conversational, person-centered approach to help people navigate stress, anger, and relationship struggles. She keeps sessions straightforward and nonjudgmental, focusing on what matters to each person. Her aim is to help clients build confidence and practical skills for everyday challenges.

Georgianne has a Masters degree in Social Work with a child and family concentration and a Masters degree in Special Education with an applied behavior analysis concentration. She is licensed in Hawaii and brings over eight years of clinical experience alongside nearly 20 years working in social services. That background informs how she supports people through parenting concerns, blended family issues, adoption and foster care matters, and fatherhood questions.

Her work often addresses anxiety, depression, bipolar concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, and struggles with addiction. Georgianne also helps people facing career pressure, compassion fatigue, chronic illness or pain, codependency, and challenges with intimacy or communication. Anger and stress management are part of the areas she helps with in sessions.

Therapy begins as a conversation. Georgianne listens without judgment and helps clients identify strengths and next steps. She uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and mindfulness tools to develop skills and coping strategies.

Her goal is to support people as they work toward clearer goals and more manageable routines. She emphasizes collaboration and practical steps so clients can try changes between sessions and build lasting momentum.

Therapeutic approaches and online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take action that aligns with personal values. It can help with stress, anxiety, and motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful habits, which is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and sleep difficulties. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase moment-to-moment awareness, which supports emotion regulation and stress management.

Finding the right fit is a joint process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what seems most helpful. Together they will try approaches and adjust as needed so the work matches daily life and what the client wants to change.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, cut commuting time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to continue regular work while using therapeutic tools between appointments.
