Giovanna Agostinelli , LMHC, LCMHC

Giovanna Agostinelli is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LMHC, LCMHC) practicing with eight years of experience. She has worked in a range of clinical settings with individuals and families across ages, genders, and cultural backgrounds, addressing concerns such as trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, stress, relationship difficulties, codependency, parenting needs, and questions related to sexuality and gender identity.

Giovanna emphasizes multicultural sensitivity and develops treatment plans that reflect each person’s history, values, and goals. She draws on evidence-based methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and trauma-informed approaches such as Cognitive Processing Therapy and Trauma-Focused CBT, and also incorporates mindfulness-based stress reduction, nurturing parenting techniques, and faith-informed interventions when appropriate. Her style centers on collaboration, combining practical coping skills with attention to emotional healing and relational patterns.

Therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and messaging to accommodate different schedules and preferences. Giovanna frames care as a personalized process rather than a one-size-fits-all solution and aims to support clients in building resilience, improving relationships, and navigating life transitions with compassion and respect.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Giovanna integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into her online practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values, accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and take committed steps toward a meaningful life; it can be helpful for stress, anxiety, and navigating life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in early relationships and how those patterns affect current intimacy and connection, which supports work on relationship struggles, abandonment concerns, and family dynamics. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, making it effective for anxiety, depression, and coping skills development.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Giovanna works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they adjust strategies over time to ensure the work feels relevant and practical.

Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support, maintain momentum between sessions, and choose the format that best matches daily life and therapeutic goals.
