About Giovanna

Giovanna Agostinelli is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in Utah with eight years of experience. She sees adults with concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, grief, parenting challenges, ADHD, and anger. Sessions are conducted in English.

Giovanna uses practical, evidence-informed methods. She often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses acceptance and commitment approaches that focus on values and skills for handling difficult feelings.

Attachment-based ideas shape how she looks at relationship patterns and closeness. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used when people need tools for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. She also includes client-centered practices that keep the conversation focused on each person's experience.

She has worked in a range of settings and with diverse cultural backgrounds. That background informs how she listens for the role culture and identity play in a person's struggle. Giovanna can include mindfulness-based strategies and parenting techniques when those match someone's goals.

Her practical approach aims to help people manage anger that comes from work stress, relationship conflicts, or buildup of resentment. She encourages concrete skills alongside discussion about values and relationships. To begin, readers are asked to confirm session options and scheduling details before booking.

How sessions work

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Giovanna commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy online. CBT focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns and practicing alternative responses, which helps with anger, anxiety, and work stress. ACT emphasizes clarifying values and building willingness to experience difficult emotions while acting in ways that matter to you, which can reduce reactive behavior.

She also brings attachment-informed ideas into sessions to look at how past relationship patterns affect current reactions and closeness. These approaches are used collaboratively - the therapist and client decide together which methods fit the person's goals and daily life. That choice can shift as therapy progresses, based on what is helpful.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking. The biography does not list specific formats here, so readers are asked to confirm current online session options directly. Online sessions can make it easier to fit work or family schedules, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce the need to travel to appointments. The therapist works with clients to arrange a workable plan that fits routines and preferences rather than promising a particular format.
