About Giovanna

Giovanna Agostinelli is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor practicing in Florida and Utah. She brings eight years of clinical experience and works with people facing anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma, and stress. She also supports concerns like addiction, ADHD, self-esteem, grief, and intimacy-related issues.

Giovanna uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. She listens first, then helps people set clear goals. Sessions often include skill practice, thought work, and mindfulness exercises aimed at daily life challenges.

Her background includes work in a range of settings with diverse ages, genders, and cultural backgrounds. She pays close attention to cultural factors and tailors her approach so it fits each person’s values and needs. She may include faith-informed options when that is relevant to the person.

Therapeutic methods she commonly draws on include cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment work, attachment-based ideas, and dialectical behavior therapy skills. These help with emotion regulation, shifting unhelpful thinking patterns, and building more stable relationships.

Giovanna emphasizes a collaborative process. She aims to create a place where people can talk through parenting questions, career stress, codependency, or the effects of past abandonment and trauma. To start, visitors are asked to complete a short questionnaire to match with a therapist and then schedule sessions according to availability.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, committed steps toward those values. It is useful for people who feel stuck by worry or unhelpful thoughts and want more meaning in daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thinking and behavior patterns by teaching practical tools to change unhelpful thoughts and try out new behaviors. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they decide which methods to emphasize and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Confirm the session formats before booking since the biography does not list formats on this profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and to keep momentum between meetings. It can allow shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, and offer options that match how a person wants to engage with therapy. Licensed professionals will help tailor sessions so they fit a person’s routine and goals.
