About Giovanna
Giovanna Agostinelli offers practical help for people feeling stuck at work, under heavy stress, or facing big life changes. She is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor - LMHC and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor - LCMHC practicing in Florida. Giovanna speaks plainly and focuses on clear steps people can use between sessions.
She draws on several evidence-based approaches to tailor care to each person. That can include cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values, and attachment-informed work to notice how early relationships shape current patterns. Sessions also sometimes use mindfulness practices and skills from dialectical behavior methods when helpful.
Giovanna has eight years of clinical experience across settings and a history of supporting concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, parenting strain, career questions, and identity-related matters. She also lists work with trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, ADHD, and compassion fatigue among her focuses.
Her style emphasizes cultural sensitivity and respect for each person's background. She adapts interventions to fit faith or spiritual perspectives when clients request that integration. The goal is to build tools that make daily life feel more manageable.

How her approaches translate to online work
Giovanna frequently uses cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy when working with people online. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take committed action toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationship patterns show up now, which can help with intimacy, trust, and communication problems. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process; the therapist will work collaboratively to tailor techniques to a client's goals, preferences, and life demands. Please confirm the session formats available before booking, since the profile's session options should be checked for the current offering. Online work can make scheduling easier around work, caregiving, or health needs, and can let people use shorter check-ins when time is limited. Giovanna aims to help clients fit therapy into everyday life and to use practical skills between sessions so progress can continue outside appointment times.Frequently asked questions
