About Giovanni
Giovanni focuses on relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, anger, and self-esteem. He also helps people facing caregiving stress, chronic pain or illness, attachment and abandonment worries, body image struggles, and career or money-related stress. He acknowledges cultural background and identity as part of each person's story.
His style is down-to-earth and supportive. He adapts sessions to a person's strengths and goals and uses practical conversation to address day-to-day problems. Sessions emphasize clear steps people can try between meetings alongside space to process difficult emotions.
Giovanni uses several therapeutic approaches, including client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral strategies, psychodynamic ideas, and trauma-focused work. He draws from these to match the approach to the concern at hand rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. People considering therapy are encouraged to review their options and confirm session formats and scheduling details before booking. To begin, follow the site process to match with a therapist and schedule a first appointment.

Approaches that translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a respectful conversation. It helps people feel understood and clarifies what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made or circumstances shift.
Confirm the available session formats before booking so you know what to expect. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, limit commute time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also support continuity of care when life is unpredictable. Ask about language options and scheduling during the initial matching steps so arrangements match your routine and goals.
