About Giovanna

Giovanna Agostinelli is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who helps people handle life changes, stress, and relationship strains. She brings eight years of clinical experience and aims to make therapy clear and practical for busy families and individuals. Sessions focus on what matters now and on small steps that add up over time.

Her work centers on common problems like anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and parenting challenges. She also supports people managing addiction, ADHD, bipolar concerns, intimacy questions, and identity issues. Giovanna pays attention to cultural background and personal values when planning care.

Giovanna blends several evidence-based approaches in straightforward ways. She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns and try new behaviors. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters most and take steps toward those values.

Attachment-based ideas help when relationships and early bonds affect current struggles. Client-centered methods keep the conversation focused on each person’s priorities and pace. Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools are available for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when needed.

Giovanna works from Florida and holds FL LMHC and UT LCMHC credentials. Sessions are offered in English. Prospective clients choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people get clear about what they value and take small, doable steps toward those things even when feelings are hard. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting thought and behavior patterns that keep problems stuck and then testing simple changes to see what helps. It works well for anxiety, low mood, and stress management. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of relating and can help with intimacy problems, parenting concerns, and relationship stress.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, history, and preferences and then suggest methods to try. If something does not fit, adjustments are made so sessions stay useful and focused on what matters most.

Confirm the therapist's current online session options before booking. When available, remote work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, skip travel time, use a shorter check-in on a phone call when energy is low, or choose video when face-to-face connection helps. Licensed professionals can adapt tools from ACT, CBT, and attachment work to online formats while keeping sessions practical and goal-focused.
