About Giovanna
Giovanna Agostinelli is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor practicing in Florida and Utah. She brings eight years of experience and listens with calm focus to people dealing with stress and anxiety. She works to make sessions feel practical and respectful of each person’s background and beliefs.
Giovanna uses a variety of approaches to match what each person needs. She often draws from cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thinking patterns.
Background and approach
She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take small steps toward them. Her work pays attention to attachment and relationships, so conversations often include how past connections affect current trust and closeness. Dialectical behavior ideas are used when emotion regulation and strong reactions make daily life harder.
Sessions can include skills practice, reflection, and gentle experimentation between meetings. Giovanna has supported people facing trauma, relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, addiction concerns, and life transitions. She notes issues such as ADHD, self-esteem, and compassion fatigue among common themes she addresses.
She also names additional focus areas like adoption and caregiving stress. She offers messaging, phone sessions, live chat, and video sessions to fit different routines. People who prefer faith-informed work can ask for that perspective and have it included when appropriate.
Her style centers on listening closely and building an approach that fits each person’s life.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Giovanna frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, and everyday stress by giving clear tools to try between sessions.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which encourages noticing painful thoughts without fighting them and taking value-driven actions. ACT is useful for people who want to reduce the time spent struggling with worry and instead move toward what matters to them.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Giovanna collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, comfort level, and life circumstances. She adjusts techniques over time based on what is helpful.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to add flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging can suit quick updates, skill practice, or people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue work between meetings.
