Giovanna Agostinelli is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who helps people work through low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and stress. She writes in plain, direct terms and aims to make sessions feel practical and approachable. Giovanna brings eight years of clinical experience and treats concerns across relationships, trauma, grief, parenting struggles, and life transitions.
She works from a person-centered stance that values each client’s story. Her sessions often draw on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and on acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and next steps. Attachment-based ideas inform how she looks at relational patterns and intimacy concerns.
Giovanna has practiced in varied settings and has experience with diverse ages, genders, and cultural backgrounds. She also addresses topics like addiction, ADHD, body image, and caregiving stress. Her approach is multicultural and attentive to clients’ individual beliefs and identities.
Sessions may include concrete skills, mindfulness exercises, and conversation about faith when that is important to the client. She emphasizes collaboration and tailors strategies to each person’s needs. The goal is practical change that fits everyday life, whether that means better sleep, clearer boundaries, or stronger self-regard.
Giovanna holds licensure in Florida as an LMHC and in Utah as an LCMHC. She offers services in English and does not work with international clients.

How her approaches shape online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps clients name what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It is useful for anxiety, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful patterns; it is often used for depression, anxiety, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early and current relationships shape expectations and reactions, and it can be helpful for intimacy, relationship, and abandonment concerns.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Giovanna will collaborate with each person to match techniques to their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean trying different strategies and adjusting as progress is made.
The biography lists messaging, phone sessions, live chat, and video as session options. Confirm current session formats before booking to be sure they meet your needs. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow a quick check-in during a lunch break, or let someone avoid travel time. They also let the therapist demonstrate short skills, review thought records, and practice grounding or breathing exercises in real time without needing an office visit.
