Rochelle Giovannini, LMHC

Rochelle Giovannini is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 25 years of experience working with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. She offers steady support and active listening to help clients name problems and find workable steps forward. Rochelle speaks English, Spanish, and Portuguese and practices from Florida. Her approach is practical and person-centered. She treats clients as the experts in their own lives and helps them use their strengths. Sessions focus on clear goals like improving mood, managing anxiety, rebuilding confidence, or handling work and parenting strains. Rochelle draws on several well-known methods, including cognitive behavioral tools to spot thinking patterns, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values, and attachment-based work to understand relationship patterns. Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing are used when they fit the client’s needs. Clients often bring concerns such as relationship or intimacy issues, addiction or mood disorders, trauma and abuse, grief, or caregiving stress. She also supports people dealing with postpartum depression, cancer-related stress, financial worries, and life purpose questions. Therapy is collaborative and goal-focused. Rochelle helps people build practical skills, try new behaviors, and track progress between sessions. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to change mood and stress. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with change. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how early bonds affect current intimacy and communication challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rochelle will collaborate with clients to choose techniques that fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day reality. Together they set goals, try strategies, and adjust the plan based on what helps most.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce commute time, and allow check-ins from different locations. Some formats are faster for quick check-ins, while others let people work more deeply in a longer session. Ask about available session types when scheduling to match sessions with your needs.
