About Giovanni

Giovanni Camacho is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California with six years of clinical experience. He creates a calm space where people can be heard and begin to make sense of painful feelings. Giovanni communicates plainly and listens for the everyday stresses behind emotional reactions.

His work focuses on relationship concerns, family stress, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, and anger. He also supports people dealing with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and career pressure. Additional areas he addresses include attachment wounds, abandonment concerns, body image, and caregiving stress.

Giovanni uses a blend of approaches tailored to each person. He draws on client-centered methods to follow what matters most to the client. He uses cognitive behavioral tools to spot patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going.

When trauma is part of the story, he includes trauma-focused work to reduce the hold of painful memories. Psychodynamic ideas help uncover long-standing patterns that show up in relationships and self-worth.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. Giovanni aims to be approachable and direct, helping people set realistic goals and take small steps toward change. To begin, readers are invited to use the site process to match and schedule a session.

How these approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes understanding the client’s perspective and following the priorities they bring. In practice this means sessions focus on what feels most pressing to the person and the therapist reflects and clarifies to help make sense of feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect; it uses simple exercises to test and change unhelpful thinking and to build new habits that reduce anxiety, depression, and anger. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on reducing the impact of traumatic memories and learning skills for managing strong reactions without letting those memories control daily life.

Choosing an approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then try techniques that match what the client needs. Over time the plan can shift if something isn’t helpful; the work is collaborative and practical.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, skip travel time, and check in during a lunch break or between errands. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or phone-only conversations when video isn’t needed. Ask about formats and scheduling during the matching step to find what fits best.
