Giovanni Bass

Giovanni Bass is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship strain, and addiction. He also supports people dealing with grief, sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Giovanni is familiar with issues tied to attachment, codependency, communication problems, infidelity, and midlife concerns.

Giovanni brings 14 years of clinical experience to his work. He builds treatment plans that focus on practical skills such as impulse control, anger management, clearer communication, and shifting negative thought patterns. He also includes attention to self-awareness and perspective so people can use what they learn outside of sessions.

His approach draws on several evidence-informed methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Emotionally-Focused Therapy supports understanding emotional patterns in relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages values-driven action alongside emotional acceptance.

Giovanni practices with a person-centered attitude and aims to tailor care to each individual's needs. He also offers spiritually integrated psychotherapy when clients want to include their faith or a sense of a higher power in sessions.

Sessions are framed as collaborative work. People can expect a mix of talking, practical exercises, and homework to try between meetings. To begin, prospective clients use the site Start Therapy flow and schedule based on the therapist's availability.

Approaches that translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people focus on what matters to them and take action consistent with their values while accepting unwanted feelings. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into manageable steps and teaches practical techniques to reduce symptoms like anxiety and sleep trouble. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on emotions and how they shape close relationships, helping people communicate needs and repair patterns of disconnection.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Giovanni treats this as a collaborative process and will discuss options based on a person's goals, history, and what feels most helpful. He adapts methods over time, mixing techniques so clients can test what helps in their daily life.

The practical benefits of online therapy can include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week, fewer disruptions for people who travel or have tight schedules, and the ability to use written exercises or screen sharing during a session. Because the therapist's biography does not specify which session formats are offered, confirm current session options before booking. Sessions are structured so people can practice skills between meetings and make therapy useful for real-world situations.
