Welcome to BetterHelp!
My name is Giovanna Agostinelli. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida and Utah. I am a passionate therapist with experience in working in various settings with all ages, genders, and cultural backgrounds. I have worked closely with individuals and families who varied in their presenting problems, such as trauma/abuse, anxiety, depression, stress, family-related issues, sexuality/gender identification, relationships, codependency, need for parenting skills, and more. I provide great attention to remaining multiculturally sensitive. I work with various modalities, but tend to more often use CBT, trauma-informed modalities (CPT, TF-CBT), Mindfulness-based stress reduction techniques, Nurturing Parenting techniques, and faith-based /Christian interventions, if applicable.
I offer messaging, phone sessions, live chat, and video sessions.
Therapy is a safe space where you will experience a compassionate approach to your working through your concerns. All my clients will receive their personalized approach to services.
There truly is no "one fits all" to counseling because you are uniquely you. My services to you will reflect this philosophy in every session's conversation. It is an absolute honor to be here for you and to be a witness to your growth and wellness journey ahead.
Thank you for being here.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

She's the best!
She make me feel like a person and genuinely respect my process non judgmental and feel like I can be listened to and she help me figure life out .
She is the best therapist I ever had!
My counselor focuses on my needs and concerns. She makes me feel valued and appreciated. Her feedback that she provides encourages me. I would recommend her to anyone looking to connect with a Christian therapist.
She is the best!
She's understanding and a great listener....
Giovanna has opened new ideas to process my feelings and set good boundaries. My relationship with my daughter has really improved.
I already feel like I've connected a lot with Gio within these past 3 weeks and that I'm working more toward my goals/underlying problems.
Giovanna is thoughtful, an amazing listener and provides great insight for me to help know myself better. I have worked with several therapists and she is clearly invested in her patients. She is highly intelligent and passes on knowledge in a digestible way. She provides tons of resources and is always reaching out to check on me, which I really appreciate.
Gio has been nothing short of amazing! I have really looked forward to our sessions and the insight that she gives.
So kind, great listener and really cares about you and helping!
Giovanna is the best therapist I have ever had.
Giovanna is a powerful therapist and betterhelp is all the more valuable to have her. Giovanna offers customizable goals and wants to get into the deep information to better help her clients. She is always present when I have my sessions and I feel reassured that as life get messy Giovanna is helping on the path I want to be on.
She is everything in a therapist I needed. She listens, gives me homework, checks up on me, helps me grow to be the better person I want to be. I couldn’t be happier to have the help I need. Thank you Giovanna!
For the first time I feel like I can be ready to open up and face up if what is going on ...my therapist does not judge and she always checks on me. I feel like the worst person to anyone but with her I can really open up. And it's only been two weeks.
I just started working with Giovanna and was really impressed with her vast knowledge and ability to clearly and kindly guide my healing. I felt comfortable from our very first session in sharing some of the deep emotions I have been harboring and look forward to many more sessions!
Gio is such an amazing therapist, she’s the first to ever make me feel like my life could and will get better ❤️
Very kind, really listens and hears what you say. She truly wants to help.
She's the best therapist I've ever had!
She is understating, trying to get to know you. Wonderful listener, I couldn’t expect more of her. I truly feel like I am being helped.
Giovanna is the third therapist I tried with BH and I must say I love her. I feel like we connected instantly and like she truly cares about helping me.
I have been working with Gio for a good while now, almost 2 years and she is amazing. She is sweet, warm, and compassionate. Gio understands my needs, helps me uncover more of them, and is incredibly supportive. She has helped me heal from my trauma so much and is continuing to do so. She is a wonderful therapist and I couldn't be happier working with her.
Giovanna is so amazing. She is such a delight and a blessing to work with ❤️
The Best!!!
Giovanna is a miracle worker. I’ve struggled with depression, dark thoughts, trauma, anxiety, social anxiety, and other issues in life. The time spent addressing these problems, seeking perspective, and finding solutions to fix them has been invaluable thanks to her. If you’re honest with yourself, and actively work towards improving yourself by taking action and being accountable, she will help guide you and improve your life.
She’s super kind and a great listener
Geo, continues to demonstrate true compassion--- her listening skills, quick response time, and alternative methods of communicating reassures me how luck I am to have her as my therapist! I look forward to continuing my growth and focusing more on therapy and self improvement this year.
G is by far the best thing since uncrustables
Giovanna has honed her craft. With her, we can conquer anything, and when I am ready and able it will be I. Giovanna is teaching me the tools to thrive in my best mental capacity; whatever that looks like. She is there with me through the good, bad and ugly and I do not feel ashamed. She is reminding me of all I had when I was doing well before I needed help, and that one day I will be there again stronger.
Giovanna is wonderful!!! She really came through for me during a tough time in my life and helped me discover tools to identify my emotions and to heal from past abuse and trauma. She knows her stuff and, even though I've had unhelpful experiences with therapists in the past, I was able to trust her and have complete confidence in her professionalism. You will love Giovanna!
Very nice
She is one of the best therapists I've ever worked with.
I have been working with Giovanna for over a year and she has helped me tremendously. I have never been to actual therapy and all therapists I tried were so awful, I lost faith in finding help. Giovanna has completely changed my mindset on therapy and has set standards that I believe no other therapist can compare to. She is super attentive, caring, informative, and supportive. I will never go to anyone else.
I’ve been working with Giovanna for a while now and she is one of the best therapists I’ve had on this platform. She helps me understand my feelings better, provides helpful resources, and meaningful insights. She is also a delight to work with, a true professional and you can tell she cares for her patients well-being. I am very happy with her as my counselor and have made progress in several areas with her assistance.
Giovanna shows remarkable compassion and understands issues at a very deep level-she clarifies my distortions, brings to light my "blind-spots", aligns my insight with my core/values, etc... Aside from the above, she's extremely intelligent, well-spoken, and a genuine kind person-- a true asset to BetterHelp's overall mission. I am very thankful for her expertise and the platform.
Giovanna is amazing, she makes me feel seen and understood, while helping me to better see and understand myself and my feelings
Top notch just top notch
She is thoughtful, insightful and amazing. Don't let her age fool you, she is an old head on young shoulders.
Giovanna is a great asset to BetterHelp. She has been able to understand and maximize my therapy journey. I am a better person because of her.
I look forward to our weekly sessions
You rock!
Giovanna is respectful, knowledgeable and professional. I would highly recommend her to anyone!
Giovanna is wonderful to talk to. She is incredibly patient, understanding, and insightful. She has helped me understand things about myself and I have grown as a person because of her! Thank you G!
Giovanna is wonderful! She was very helpful for me at a crutial transition point in my life. I would have really struggled without her constant support and advice.
So far she is great at understanding my boundaries and that is important to me
Well experienced. I would recommend her to anyone that needs help or even advice. She makes you feel comfortable and welcomed. She gives her honest opinion and listens very well. Only been going to her for a few weeks and is loving the outcome already.
Giovanna has been amazing. She's really helped me a lot since I've been working with her. She listens, responds very quickly when I need and I genuinely feel like she is invested in supporting me.
Very understanding and very knowledgeable
I have been in counseling with Giovanna for several months now. I highly recommend Giovanna, she listens to everything and pushes me in the best ways with out pushing to far. I have been to other therapists in the past but I have never had very much success, with Giovanna I am reaching new heights each week. Thank you to BetterHelp and Giovanna for offering your services!
the best ever
I just started working with Giovanna and I am very happy with her. She is very sweet, warm, comforting, incredibly reassuring, she shows her care and empathy with my situation and just makes me feel safe.
I love Giovanna she’s such a great counselor, she makes me feel comfortable with whatever I have to speak about. She makes it feel like a safe place for me to express myself.
Giovanna is an amazing counselor that I highly recommend. She responds in a timely manner and responding to urgent messages in a heartbeat. Sometimes it’s hard to speak to people and Giovanna makes one feel at ease, allowing you to speak freely. She provides constructive feedback/responses both in live sessions and in her text messages. She’s a good soul who truly cares about her job and helping people. I have made great progress since starting my sessions with Giovanna.
Friendly, knowledgeable and capable
Great job so far! Awesome
Im so glad better help matched me with my counselor i feel she is a great fit for me and i feel the sessions are already helping me so much even from only doing it a short time ! Strongly recommend :)
Giovanna is extraordinarily capable of helping to bring the change her clients are looking for. She seems to have a well thought out plan, and flexibility within that plan, in order to help guide those seeking counseling to their goals. She doesn't brush aside or downplay anything you have to say. She shows that she values your time and the effort you put into your end of the counseling experience. If you're willing to give it a shot, she'll meet you where you are, and help you rise.
