About Giovanna

Giovanna Agostinelli, Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC, LCMHC) licensed in Florida and Utah, has eight years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, addictions, ADHD, grief, parenting strain, and related issues. She describes her approach as client-centered and draws on cognitive behavioral and acceptance-based methods.

Giovanna often uses practical skills from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different responses. She also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to clarify values and build flexible coping. Attachment-based work is used to address relational patterns and attachment concerns.

Her background includes work in multiple settings with varied ages, genders, and cultural backgrounds. She notes experience supporting people around sexuality and gender identification, blended family dynamics, adoption and foster care, aging concerns, chronic illness, and caregiver stress. She also lists work with body image, commitment and codependency issues, and intimacy-related topics.

Giovanna says she remains multiculturally sensitive and can include faith-based or Christian interventions when a client requests them. She describes using trauma-informed techniques and mentions parenting skills and nurturing parenting methods for those needing behavioral and relational support. She frames therapy as a collaborative process that adapts to each persons needs.

Sessions are conducted in English and she does not accept international clients. Cost varies by location and services use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions fit

Giovanna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going and to practice new ways of responding. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and some relationship habits.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. ACT focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and building willingness to act on those values even when feelings are uncomfortable. That approach can help with worry, avoidance, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right method is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match goals, needs, and preferences. Adjustments are made over time based on what is helping.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also supports continuing work through relocation within the same state when licensed professionals are available. Ask about specific scheduling and session formats when you complete the matching questionnaire.
