About Giovanna
Giovanna Agostinelli is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in Utah with eight years of practice. She helps adults who are dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship strain, family of origin concerns, parenting questions, and issues around identity and intimacy. Sessions address immediate problems and everyday coping needs.
Giovanna uses straightforward, evidence-informed methods like cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior techniques to teach skills for managing thoughts, emotions, and behavior. She also draws on attachment-based ideas when family history affects current relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy tools appear in her work to help people clarify values and take workable steps toward them.
Her background includes work in a range of settings with people from diverse cultural backgrounds. That experience informs how she listens for patterns that come from the family you grew up in and how those patterns show up now. She pays attention to parenting dynamics and blended family situations when they matter to the presenting concern.
Giovanna commonly addresses topics such as trauma and abuse, grief, addiction, ADHD, and coping with life changes. She also works with people navigating sexuality and gender identity questions and with those managing chronic illness or caregiver stress. Practical skill building and steadier routines are typical parts of her sessions.
Her approach is collaborative and goal-focused. Early meetings usually review what matters most, set short-term targets, and introduce simple tools to use between sessions. The focus is on clear steps that fit into daily life rather than abstract theory.
How Giovanna’s approaches translate to remote work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take concrete steps toward those values. In practice this can mean short exercises to identify priorities and simple behavioral plans to try between sessions, which can be reviewed remotely. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical tools like activity scheduling and thought records to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the process. Giovanna works collaboratively to match methods to a person's needs, goals, and preferences. Early sessions are used to test techniques and decide what to continue based on what feels useful and realistic for the client.
