Giovanna Agostinelli, LMHC, LCMHC

Giovanna Agostinelli is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties. She practices in Florida and brings eight years of experience to sessions. Giovanna aims to create a compassionate space where people can talk through hard moments and figure out next steps.

She tailors each session to the individual rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. Sessions blend practical skills and reflective conversation. Clients often work on coping skills, ways to manage mood and anxiety, and strategies to improve relationships and communication.

Giovanna draws on cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and make meaningful changes. Attachment-based and client-centered approaches shape how she builds trust and focuses on a person’s experience.

Her background includes work with people facing trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, grief, parenting stress, caregiving strain, chronic illness and pain, and identity or sexuality questions. She notes attention to multicultural awareness when talking about life circumstances and stressors.

Giovanna offers care that can include mindfulness practices, nurturing parenting techniques, and faith-informed options when requested. People who choose her can expect a collaborative process aimed at practical steps and clearer goals.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then pick actions that match their values to move forward. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going and practicing concrete skills to change them; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress management. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns affect present feelings and reactions, and it supports building more secure ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and together choose which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and may shift over time as needs change.

The original profile lists messaging, phone, live chat, and video sessions, so confirm which formats are currently offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove travel time. They also let people use tools and worksheets between meetings and practice skills in their everyday routines.
