About Giovanni
He helps people talk through anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. He also supports clients dealing with trauma, intimacy-related issues, anger, and self-esteem. Narcissism and attachment concerns are among the topics he addresses in sessions.
Giovanni uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. He draws on client-centered methods to follow what matters most to the client. He uses psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify useful behavior and thinking shifts.
His work also covers stress related to caregiving, chronic illness or pain, money worries, and questions about life purpose. He speaks English and Spanish and attends to multicultural concerns in therapy. Giovanni describes his style as supportive and down-to-earth, focused on practical steps and the client’s strengths.
To begin, the process asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on the therapist’s availability. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How Giovanni’s approaches translate to online work
Giovanni integrates client-centered therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and trauma-focused ideas into his practice. Client-centered therapy means he follows what the client says matters most and uses that as the starting point for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Trauma-focused therapy attends directly to traumatic memories and their effects to help people reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and past experience to select methods that fit the person. Plans can change over time as needs shift or new priorities emerge.
Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing appointments during a lunch break. It can also let a person choose a shorter check-in when that better suits their schedule. Talk with the therapist when scheduling to find a setup that matches practical needs and therapeutic goals.
