How Giovanni works
Conversations are direct and respectful, and homework or real-life exercises are often part of the work. Giovanni is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, with 14 years of experience. He holds licenses in California and Arizona but practices from North Carolina.
His background includes work with people experiencing a wide range of life challenges and relationship struggles. He pays attention to attachment and communication issues, blended family concerns, codependency, infidelity, and the many everyday problems that wear people down. He brings those themes into session as concrete topics to address rather than abstract labels.
Clients can expect clear explanations of therapeutic tools and focused practice on skills like emotional regulation, problem solving, and rebuilding trust. Giovanni aims to help people regain a sense of control and purpose, and to make steady progress toward the life they want.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose values-driven actions. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill building. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and anger. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, EFT, centers on understanding emotional responses and attachment patterns in relationships to improve connection and repair hurt.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through your goals and preferences and recommend which methods to try first. That plan can change as progress is made and new needs appear, and adjustments are made collaboratively throughout care.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation from wherever they are. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is an issue. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when someone prefers written communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work between sessions.
