About Giovanni
Giovanni Castillo-Gomez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction struggles, low self-esteem, depression, and LGBTQ-related concerns. He values each person's strengths and treats them as the expert in their own story. He encourages people to recognize the courage it takes to start therapy and to take small steps forward.
Giovanni spends sessions listening and asking practical questions to understand what matters most to each person.
Background and approach
He works with clients to set clear, achievable goals and to build everyday skills for coping with anxiety and stress. When addiction or low motivation show up, he focuses on routines and small changes that stack into bigger shifts. He uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the client rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused, with regular check-ins about progress and what needs to change. People can expect straightforward feedback and simple tools to try between sessions. Giovanni’s style is warm and direct.
He helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck and practices new ways of responding to stressful situations. He also supports clients working through self-esteem and identity questions related to LGBTQ issues. He practices in Texas and conducts sessions in English.
Beginning therapy with him involves selecting the Start Therapy button, completing a short matching questionnaire, then scheduling a session that fits the client’s timing.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Giovanni uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical problem solving and skill building. One approach emphasizes skill training to manage anxiety and stress through breathing, pacing, and stepwise exposure to difficult situations; this helps people reduce avoidance and feel more in control. Another approach focuses on building motivation and routines for people coping with addictions or low energy by breaking goals into small, achievable steps and tracking progress over time.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Giovanni works with each person to decide which techniques match their goals, needs, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress is made. He checks in regularly to see what is helping and what should change.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people juggling work, school, or caregiving. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper interaction, phone sessions can fit a short break during the day or when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can provide quick check-ins or support between sessions. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care and practice new skills in everyday life.
