About Giovanni

Giovanni Bass is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people manage anger alongside stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. He works with issues like trauma, addiction, grief, sleeping problems, and self-esteem. He also supports people facing life changes and compassion fatigue. Giovanni draws on a range of practical methods to help clients notice and change patterns that keep them stuck. He focuses on clearer communication, impulse control, and rebuilding perspective. Sessions often involve learning new ways to handle strong feelings and testing small changes between meetings. He integrates a spiritual dimension when clients want that focus, helping them explore personal meaning and relationships with a higher power. That aspect is offered alongside more structured therapies when it fits a person’s goals. Giovanni has 14 years of experience as a clinician and has worked with people from different regions. He lists Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and the Gottman Method among his approaches. He practices in North Carolina and conducts therapy in English. Prospective clients choose Start Therapy, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions based on the therapist’s availability. The subscription model for sessions can be canceled at any time.

How these approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match your values. It helps people who feel stuck in unhelpful thinking and who want a clearer sense of purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills for changing unhelpful patterns. It can be useful for anger, anxiety, and sleep problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on understanding emotions and improving connection in close relationships, helping people express and respond to strong feelings in healthier ways.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That plan can shift as work progresses, with new exercises or focuses added when they make sense.

Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins can fit into a lunch break, phone calls require less bandwidth, and remote sessions remove travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and EFT tools to online conversations so the work stays practical and goal-oriented.
