About Giovanna
Giovanna Agostinelli is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) licensed in Florida and an LCMHC licensed in Utah with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, trauma and abuse, and questions around sexuality and gender. Sessions are offered in English and based in Florida.
Giovanna uses a mix of practical therapy methods to help people manage everyday pressures at home. She commonly draws on cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people notice their values and take small steps toward them.
Her background includes work across diverse settings with people from varied ages and cultural backgrounds. That experience informs how she addresses family-related concerns, parenting stress, blended family issues, and attachment questions. She also supports people dealing with addictions, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and caregiving strain.
Approach in sessions tends to be straightforward and skills oriented. Giovanna may introduce mindfulness exercises, grounding strategies, and behavioral experiments. She can include faith-based or Christian perspectives when that is relevant to the person seeking help.
Practical matters such as session format and subscription billing are part of how she arranges care. To begin, the usual path is to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial visit through the online options button.
How sessions work
How her approaches work for online sessions
Giovanna commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. ACT focuses on helping people clarify their values and take small, meaningful actions even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. CBT targets specific thinking and behavior patterns and uses practical exercises to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression.She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at connection patterns formed in relationships. That approach can be useful for people wanting to understand how past bonds influence current family and parenting interactions. In session she may discuss patterns, practice new interaction steps, and set simple homework to try at home.
Finding the best fit is a collaborative process. Giovanna will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggest one or more approaches to try. Many people adjust the mix as work progresses, so plans are reviewed and changed together.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time.
