About Giovanna
Giovanna draws on several approaches to shape sessions around real problems. She uses client-centered methods to follow the client's lead and build trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness skills are used when emotions feel overwhelming or when someone needs tools to stay grounded.
Sessions are guided by respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Giovanna tailors conversations and goals to each person's situation, whether they are coping with grief, relationship strain, burnout, or social anxiety. She also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, blended family issues, fertility struggles, and prejudice-related concerns.
Giovanna has four years of professional experience and holds an LPC license in Texas. She works in English and does not accept international clients. Her approach blends listening, practical skill-building, and collaborative planning so clients can try new ways of handling trouble spots.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on the therapist's availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and costs vary with location and the therapist's schedule.
How her approaches shape online work
Giovanna often combines client-centered care with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness skills to help people manage loneliness, anxiety, and big life changes. Client-centered work means she follows what matters most to the client and mirrors their concerns back in a compassionate way. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or depressive patterns. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to calm strong emotions and bring focus back to the present.Finding the right approach is a team effort. Giovanna will talk with each client about their goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before. Together they choose methods to try, adjust plans as needed, and track progress in straightforward ways like mood check-ins and practical homework exercises.
Confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. One practical benefit of online sessions is fitting therapy into a busy life, making it easier to schedule regular check-ins around work or family demands. Online work can also allow shorter, focused visits for skill practice or weekly meetings to maintain momentum without long travel times.
