Giovanna Agostinelli

Giovanna Agostinelli welcomes people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin. She is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor - LMHC in Florida and LCMHC in Utah with eight years of experience. Giovanna writes plainly and listens closely to what matters most to each person who comes in. She aims to make sessions feel respectful and focused on practical next steps.

Giovanna uses mindful practices to help people notice thoughts and feelings without being pushed around by them. She often blends Mindfulness Therapy with cognitive behavioral tools to shift patterns and build new habits. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current struggles.

Her background includes work in different clinical settings and with people from many cultural backgrounds. She has supported people dealing with trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, parenting stress, relationship concerns, and life transitions. Giovanna pays attention to multicultural factors and to individually tailoring the work.

In sessions she focuses on clear, doable strategies and on building skills that fit everyday life. She may use breathing and grounding exercises, thought records, values-based goals from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and gentle exploration of attachment patterns. She can also include faith-informed options when people request that approach.

Giovanna frames therapy as a collaborative process. She helps people set concrete goals, practices new responses together, and checks progress along the way. Prospective clients are invited to reach out and begin with a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How different approaches shape online sessions

Giovanna often combines mindfulness practice with cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new actions. Mindfulness Therapy involves short attention and breathing exercises that make it easier to respond rather than react, which can help with anxiety, stress, and mood problems.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) ideas that focus on values and small steps toward a life worth living. ACT helps when people feel stuck or unsure what matters most and supports setting concrete, values-driven goals. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns influence current bonds and communication, which can be useful for intimacy and relationship concerns.

Finding the right fit is a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process includes trying techniques and checking what helps over time.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, support shorter check-ins when time is limited, and allow people to practice skills between appointments. Licensed professionals can help adapt exercises so they work in everyday life and across different schedules.
