About Giovanna
Giovanna Agostinelli is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who aims to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship strain. She brings eight years of counseling experience and uses straightforward, practical techniques to help clients tackle pressing problems. Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps that fit into everyday life.
Giovanna has practiced in varied settings and draws on several approaches to match each person’s needs. She often uses cognitive behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behavior.
Background and approach
She also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy methods to help people clarify values and take committed action. Attachment-based ideas shape how she looks at relationship patterns and emotional needs. The Gottman Method is part of her toolkit when working on communication and connection challenges.
Giovanna keeps language direct and practical so parents and busy adults can use skills right away. She pays attention to cultural background and personal beliefs when shaping a plan. That can include faith-informed ideas if a client wants them.
The focus is on short, doable skills alongside deeper emotional work when it’s needed. Giovanna offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Sessions follow a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
She works in English and practices in Florida and Utah as an LMHC and LCMHC.

Online support
How her approaches translate to online care
Giovanna frequently uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside the Gottman Method to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values, which can reduce avoidance and build meaningful routines. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current reactions and helps people form healthier emotional responses in relationships. The Gottman Method informs practical communication skills exercises that address conflict and increase connection. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Giovanna reviews goals and preferences with each person and adjusts techniques over time. She combines short skill-building exercises with deeper conversations so the plan fits daily life and long-term aims. Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and real-time practice of communication skills. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients send updates, ask questions between sessions, or use brief coping tools during the week. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and keep momentum between meetings.We will earn a commission if you sign up through our link, at no cost to you.
