My name is Giovanna Agostinelli. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida and Utah. I am a passionate therapist with experience in working in various settings with all ages, genders, and cultural backgrounds. I have worked closely with individuals and families who varied in their presenting problems, such as trauma/abuse, anxiety, depression, stress, family-related issues, sexuality/gender identification, relationships, codependency, need for parenting skills, and more. I provide great attention to remaining multiculturally sensitive. I work with various modalities, but tend to more often use CBT, trauma-informed modalities (CPT, TF-CBT), Mindfulness-based stress reduction techniques, Nurturing Parenting techniques, and faith-based /Christian interventions, if applicable.
I offer messaging, phone sessions, live chat, and video sessions.
Therapy is a safe space where you will experience a compassionate approach to your working through your concerns. All my clients will receive their personalized approach to services.
There truly is no "one fits all" to counseling because you are uniquely you. My services to you will reflect this philosophy in every session's conversation. It is an absolute honor to be here for you and to be a witness to your growth and wellness journey ahead.
Thank you for being here.

Giovanna is a miracle worker. I’ve struggled with depression, dark thoughts, trauma, anxiety, social anxiety, and other issues in life. The time spent addressing these problems, seeking perspective, and finding solutions to fix them has been invaluable thanks to her. If you’re honest with yourself, and actively work towards improving yourself by taking action and being accountable, she will help guide you and improve your life.

Giovanna is wonderful!!! She really came through for me during a tough time in my life and helped me discover tools to identify my emotions and to heal from past abuse and trauma.

Giovanna is an amazing counselor that I highly recommend. She responds in a timely manner and responding to urgent messages in a heartbeat. Sometimes it’s hard to speak to people and Giovanna makes one feel at ease, allowing you to speak freely. She provides constructive feedback/responses both in live sessions and in her text messages. She’s a good soul who truly cares about her job and helping people. I have made great progress since starting my sessions with Giovanna.

Giovanna is extraordinarily capable of helping to bring the change her clients are looking for. She seems to have a well thought out plan, and flexibility within that plan, in order to help guide those seeking counseling to their goals. She doesn't brush aside or downplay anything you have to say. She shows that she values your time and the effort you put into your end of the counseling experience. If you're willing to give it a shot, she'll meet you where you are, and help you rise.
