About Giovanna

Giovanna Agostinelli is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor practicing in Florida. She brings eight years of counseling experience and focuses on issues such as anger, stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She uses straightforward, practical strategies and aims to make sessions feel personal and respectful.

Giovanna adapts her work to each person’s needs. She draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses attachment-informed ideas to look at patterns in close relationships and acceptance and commitment techniques to help people notice values and take value-driven actions.

Her background includes work with diverse ages, genders, and cultural backgrounds across multiple settings. She describes her approach as multicultural and attentive to faith when that is relevant for the person seeking help. The biography notes experience with trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, codependency, and sexuality and gender identity issues.

Giovanna offers a personalized plan for each person who seeks support. She aims to listen first, then build skills and choices that fit daily life. That may include mindfulness practices, nurturing parenting strategies, and practical coping tools tailored to the concern at hand.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How these approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that match their values; it can be useful for anger, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people shift how they relate to others and to themselves.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try techniques from different approaches to see what fits. Sessions are adjusted over time based on what helps you make steady, practical changes.

The original biography lists messaging, phone, live chat, and video sessions as offered. If you want to confirm current session options, please check before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use these formats to practice skills between sessions and to build consistency when life is hectic.
