Georgianne Nacionales, LCSW

Georgianne Nacionales is an LCSW based in Hawaii with eight years of clinical experience. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about relationship struggles, parenting concerns, stress, anxiety, grief, addiction, and living with health challenges. Her approach centers on respectful conversation and practical steps that fit each person's life.

She brings two master's degrees and a long history in social services to her work. That background includes focusing on child and family needs and applied behavior strategies from special education. Georgianne has worked with people across a wide age range and has many years of professional experience supporting others through life changes.

Sessions start with a simple conversation about what matters most to the client. Georgianne listens first, then helps identify goals and small, achievable steps. She draws on methods such as acceptance and commitment, cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness, and client-centered listening to shape sessions in plain language.

Therapy may include building coping skills for stress, managing mood concerns like depression or bipolar symptoms, and improving communication in relationships. She also helps people facing chronic illness or caregiving burdens, and those needing support with parenting, adoption or blended family issues.

Georgianne emphasizes collaboration - clients set the pace and she offers guidance, tools, and encouragement. Her aim is to help people feel more confident and be better able to handle everyday challenges.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Georgianne uses methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to guide her work. ACT focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and values-based action, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with long-term health issues. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and empathy so clients feel understood and can set their own goals.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then try methods that fit. Sessions can shift over time as needs change so the plan stays useful and realistic.

The therapist’s biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make therapy easier to fit into busy days, allow shorter check-ins, and remove travel time. Many people use online therapy to keep momentum between appointments and to apply skills in everyday settings while getting guidance from a licensed professional.
