Giovanna Agostinelli, LMHC, LCMHC

Giovanna Agostinelli is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and trauma. She practices in Florida and brings eight years of clinical experience to sessions. Giovanna keeps language simple and practical so parents and individuals can quickly understand next steps.

She uses cognitive behavioral strategies to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. She also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and build meaningful routines. Attachment-based work is used when early relationships shape present struggles.

Giovanna emphasizes culturally sensitive care and listens for each person’s background and beliefs. Sessions focus on concrete tools you can use between meetings, such as thought records, short mindfulness practices, and small behavioral experiments. Faith-based options are available when clients request them.

Her experience includes work with trauma, addictions, grief, parenting concerns, intimacy issues, ADHD, and mood disorders. She also addresses less common areas like adoption and foster care challenges, body image, chronic illness, caregiving stress, and nontraditional sexual cultures.

Services are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. People sign up through a matching process and then schedule sessions that fit their life. Giovanna aims for clear goals, practical steps, and steady progress in each meeting.

How therapeutic methods translate to online care

Giovanna commonly blends cognitive behavioral work with acceptance and commitment approaches and attachment-based thinking. Cognitive behavioral work focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily routines. Acceptance and commitment work helps people clarify what matters to them and build small, consistent actions toward those values. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication, and it helps people try different ways of relating.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Giovanna will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which strategies to try and adjust the plan as needed in a collaborative way.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care easier to fit into busy lives. Video is useful for deeper skill work and face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging let people share between meetings or use brief coaching-style support. These formats help people access consistent work without changing their routine.
