About Giovanni
Giovanni Castillo-Gomez helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, low self-esteem, and LGBT concerns. He is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, practicing in Texas with three years of experience. He speaks English and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone who is uncertain about therapy.
Giovanni believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths into the room. He focuses on practical conversations that identify what is working and what needs to change.
How Giovanni works
Sessions are aimed at building confidence, finding motivation, and reducing overwhelming thoughts and behaviors. He frames therapy as a collaborative process. Clients and he set clear goals together and check progress each session.
He uses approaches that are grounded in evidence and tailored to the person's needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. In appointments he listens closely and asks questions to clarify what matters most to the client. He helps people break problems into small, doable steps.
He also works on skills for managing cravings and urges related to addictions, and on strategies to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Starting therapy can feel hard, and Giovanni acknowledges that courage. He supports people through that early effort and through building steady habits for long-term change.

Evidence-based techniques and online care
Giovanni uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical changes. One approach helps people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns so they can manage anxiety and low mood more effectively. Another approach focuses on skills to control urges and reduce harmful behaviors, which is useful for people coping with addictions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He will work with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and preferences, and will adjust methods as progress is reviewed. The plan evolves with the client's needs rather than staying fixed.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels helpful. Phone sessions can be simpler when video is difficult or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit short check-ins into a busy day or to keep a steady connection between sessions. These options let clients access therapy around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities.
