About Giovanni

He aims to make sessions straightforward and practical so clients can use tools right away. Giovanni is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW - with 14 years of experience and practices from North Carolina.

Sessions focus on real problems like sleep trouble, anger, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Giovanni draws from several well-known approaches to tailor care to each person.

He uses cognitive strategies to spot and change unhelpful thoughts. He brings client-centered methods that prioritize the person's goals and lived experience. He also integrates emotionally focused and relationship-based tools for intimacy and communication concerns.

In a typical session he works alongside the client to set clear, achievable goals. Conversations are practical and anchored to daily life. Homework and simple exercises are often suggested so progress continues between sessions.

Giovanni has worked across different settings over his career and brings that variety into his practice. He offers multiple formats for sessions, including video calls, phone, live chat, and text messaging.

Online support

How Giovanni’s Approaches Work Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and to act in line with what matters most. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes where values and action need to be clarified. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, sleep problems, and mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on emotional patterns in relationships and helps people improve connection and communication when intimacy or trust are strained.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to pick methods that fit their goals and preferences, and will adjust plans as needs change. Sessions are framed around clear goals, practical exercises, and feedback about what is or isn’t working.

Online delivery offers flexible ways to engage. Video calls let people use visual cues and do more in-depth work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit quick updates, brief coping strategies, or when writing thoughts feels more comfortable. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work between sessions.
