About Giovanna
Giovanna Agostinelli is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, holding LMHC and LCMHC credentials and practicing for eight years. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, parenting challenges, ADHD, and related issues. Sessions are conducted in English and she practices from Florida.
She focuses on straightforward, skills-based work so people can notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) features often in her approach, along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and attachment-based ideas. She also draws on client-centered methods and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques when useful.
Her background includes work across settings with varied ages, genders, and cultural backgrounds. That experience informs practical strategies for parenting, coping with life changes, and managing mood or anxiety symptoms. She pays attention to cultural differences in how problems show up and how people prefer to work.
In sessions she uses concrete tools - thought records, behavior experiments, mindfulness exercises, and skills practice - to test what helps. She may include parenting skills or strategies for relationship conflicts when those issues come up. She also addresses areas like identity, body image, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and sexual expression in direct terms.
Her service model emphasizes collaboration. Clients can expect active problem-solving, regular check-ins on progress, and adjustments to the plan when something is not working. To begin, follow the site steps to match and schedule a first session.
How CBT, ACT, and Attachment Work Online
Giovanna commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thinking and try small behavior experiments that test new ways of responding. CBT focuses on practical steps like tracking thoughts, planning experiments, and practicing new skills to reduce distress.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take committed action even when difficult feelings remain. ACT emphasizes mindfulness and commitment to meaningful behavior rather than trying to eliminate all uncomfortable thoughts. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and to practice different ways of relating in close relationships.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work and will be collaborative. The therapist and client review goals, try methods, and adjust the plan if something does not fit. This usually involves regular check-ins and clear homework or skill practice between meetings.
The biography lists messaging, phone, live chat, and video sessions, so confirm which of those formats are currently offered before scheduling. Online sessions can make it easier to fit brief check-ins into a workday, reduce travel time, or use shorter phone conversations when bandwidth is limited. The focus remains on practical skills and making therapy fit daily life rather than on a particular delivery method.
