About Giovanna
Giovanna Agostinelli is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who helps people facing anxiety, stress, depression, relationship strain, and parenting challenges. She speaks plainly and makes room for each person’s story.
Background and approach
Her approach centers on practical steps people can try between sessions. Giovanna uses therapies that focus on present problems and on patterns that repeat in relationships.
She draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and committed action. She also uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early bonds affect current connections.
She has eight years of clinical experience and holds licensure in Florida as LMHC and in Utah as LCMHC. That background includes work in multiple settings with diverse cultural perspectives.
Giovanna pays careful attention to cultural differences and to issues around sexuality and gender identity. In sessions she combines conversational, client-centered listening with concrete tools.
That might mean practicing new communication skills, trying brief mindfulness exercises, or setting small behavioral goals. She adapts methods to fit each person rather than using one fixed plan.
Therapy can address both immediate symptoms and longer-term patterns. Giovanna helps people manage crises such as grief, trauma or addiction, and also supports those coping with life transitions, caregiver stress, or chronic illness.
She aims to make sessions useful and manageable for busy lives.
Therapeutic approaches and online options that fit your life
Giovanna often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice hard thoughts and still act toward what matters to them; this approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current connection patterns and to help people change those interaction habits. In addition, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is applied to spot and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior in day-to-day life, such as with stress, anxiety, or mood concerns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Giovanna collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. She will suggest options, try techniques in session, and adjust plans as progress is made so the process stays aligned with what the client wants to accomplish.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation for skills practice and relationship work. Phone sessions can be a good lower-bandwidth option or fit a quick check-in during a break. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, written reflection, or when writing out thoughts feels easier than speaking. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep work going between appointments.
