About Giovanna
Giovanna Agostinelli is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, holding LMHC and LCMHC credentials and licensed in Florida and Utah, with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, depression, and anger. She also addresses parenting concerns, addiction, ADHD, grief, and career-related stress.
Giovanna uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. She often draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to help people notice triggers and change unhelpful patterns. Attachment-based ideas guide work on relationship wounds and how early experiences affect present reactions.
She describes therapy as collaborative and values being attentive to cultural background and identity. Sessions may include talking through recent conflicts, practicing new ways to respond when anger flares, and building small skills to manage stress between meetings. Faith or Christian-informed options are available when clients request them.
Giovanna has experience across settings and with a wide range of concerns. That includes work related to trauma-informed care, parenting skills, and supporting people coping with chronic illness or caregiving strain. She also lists interest in topics such as adoption and foster care, attachment issues, and intimacy-related concerns.
Her approach centers on helping people develop clearer choices in moments of strong emotion. She encourages practical steps - such as short behavioral experiments, grounding and breathing practices, and exploring values that matter to each person. The emphasis is on usable strategies that can fit into everyday life.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Giovanna commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment ideas in her work. CBT focuses on spotting thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing small changes to see different results. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult feelings and act in ways that match their values even when emotions are strong.She also draws on attachment-based techniques to look at how early relationships shape reactions now. That work helps when anger shows up in close relationships or when trust has been damaged. These approaches can be combined in a session to target whatever feels most pressing to the client.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Giovanna will collaborate with each person to pick strategies that fit their goals and day-to-day life. She may suggest short exercises between sessions, practice in the moment, and regular check-ins on what is or is not helping.
Confirm the available session formats before booking to make sure they fit your needs. The practical benefits of online sessions include easier scheduling around work or caregiving, fewer travel demands, and options for shorter check-ins when that suits a busy day. If you want faith-informed elements to be included, say so during the matching process so sessions can be planned accordingly.
