About Giovanna

Giovanna Agostinelli is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC, LCMHC) practicing in Florida. She aims to help people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship tensions, or patterns like codependency. Her style is warm and respectful, and she pays attention to how culture and identity shape each person’s story.

Giovanna draws on several practical approaches to guide sessions. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Attachment-based ideas help when past relationships shape present reactions. Mindfulness and nurturing parenting tools are offered when people need grounding or support with caregiving roles.

She has eight years of clinical experience across different settings. That work included supporting people facing trauma, depression, grief, addiction concerns, and sexuality or gender questions. Giovanna notes she adapts what she offers to each person rather than sticking to a single method.

Sessions are described as collaborative and focused on real-life change. Conversations aim to identify small, practical steps alongside exploring deeper patterns. Faith-based or Christian interventions are available when relevant and welcomed by the client.

Therapy is presented as a space for steady progress rather than quick fixes. Prospective clients fill out a short matching questionnaire and then schedule based on the therapist’s availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How chosen approaches guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take concrete steps toward a values-driven life. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people practice new ways of relating when old responses no longer serve them.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to a person’s goals, preferences, and daily realities, then suggest techniques to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as needed based on what helps most.

Online therapy can make sessions easier to fit into a busy week and let conversations continue between appointments. Because session formats vary, confirm available options before booking so you know what to expect. Many people appreciate shorter check-ins when time is tight, or video sessions when they prefer face-to-face interaction. Licensed professionals can tailor pacing and homework to what fits a client’s routine, helping therapy stay practical and doable.
