Giovanna Agostinelli, LMHC, LCMHC

Giovanna Agostinelli is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor practicing in Florida and Utah. She brings eight years of experience helping people who struggle with anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, and relationship concerns. She explains therapy in clear terms and focuses on practical steps that families and individuals can use day to day.

Giovanna combines several counseling methods to meet people where they are. She often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns. She also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take committed steps toward them. Attachment-based work and client-centered conversation are used to repair connection and strengthen trust in relationships.

Her background includes work across a range of settings and with varied cultural backgrounds. She pays attention to multicultural factors and adjusts her approach to fit each person’s life and identity. She has supported people coping with grief, addiction, parenting stress, chronic illness, and major life changes.

Sessions can include skill building for emotion regulation, parenting strategies, and trauma-informed care when appropriate. She sometimes integrates mindfulness and nurturing parenting techniques. Faith-based or Christian interventions can be included when relevant to the client’s values.

Giovanna asks people to expect a personalized plan rather than a one-size-fits-all method. She guides clients through concrete steps, homework, and check-ins, and focuses on steady progress over time.

How Giovanna’s approaches fit into online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take small, practical steps toward those values while managing painful thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at connection patterns and helps people build safer, more responsive relationships with others.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, history, and daily life, then try methods that match those needs. Sessions include collaborative planning, skill practice, and regular check-ins to see what is helping.

The biography lists messaging, phone sessions, live chat, and video sessions as session options. If you want a particular format, confirm current session options before booking so they match your needs. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example a shorter phone check-in can be squeezed into a lunch break, video sessions allow face-to-face conversation without travel, and messaging can support brief reflections between meetings.
