About Giovanna

Giovanna Agostinelli is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor who works with adults facing a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, depression, and ADHD.

Background and approach

With eight years of clinical experience, she emphasizes individualized care and treats each person’s situation as unique rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model. She draws on several evidence-informed methods, including cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical strategies, and attachment-focused work, adapting interventions to fit clients’ goals and life circumstances.

Giovanna also brings experience addressing family dynamics, grief, intimacy issues, parenting needs, and co-occurring difficulties such as addictions and mood conditions. Her approach prioritizes cultural awareness and sensitivity across different ages and backgrounds.

Sessions combine practical skill-building with reflective exploration so clients can develop coping tools and a clearer sense of values and priorities. Giovanna offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate varied schedules and preferences.

Prospective clients in Florida can expect a collaborative process that tailors therapeutic work to their personal strengths and challenges.

Therapeutic approaches and online care tailored to you



Giovanna commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many daily challenges. She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore relationship patterns and emotional needs, helping clients understand how early connections influence current intimacy and interpersonal functioning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Giovanna approaches treatment collaboratively, discussing goals and preferences with each client and adjusting methods over time so interventions match what feels most helpful and relevant.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different lifestyles and access needs. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care while fitting therapy into busy schedules, offering both real-time conversation and ongoing text-based check-ins as needed.
