About Georgianne

Georgianne Nacionales, LCSW, offers a direct and compassionate approach to therapy. She uses conversation and practical strategies to help people facing depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and other stressors. Sessions are aimed at building on each person's strengths and increasing confidence in daily life.

Georgianne holds a Master of Social Work with a child and family concentration and a Master of Special Education with an applied behavior analysis concentration. She is licensed in Hawaii and brings eight years of clinical experience, plus nearly two decades in social services, to her work. That background gives her broad exposure to common family and life stresses.

Her style begins with a simple, honest conversation about what matters to the client. She keeps sessions nonjudgmental and focused on practical steps clients can try between meetings. Georgianne emphasizes collaboration and helps people identify goals they want to work toward.

She draws from well-known methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, and mindfulness practices. These tools are used to reduce unhelpful thoughts, increase values-driven action, and manage strong emotions. Dialectical skills and motivational interviewing ideas also appear when they fit the client’s needs.

Georgianne has helped people with parenting, family conflict, adoption and foster care concerns, addiction, grief, chronic illness, and work stress. She encourages clear communication and realistic changes that fit daily life. If someone is ready to take a first step, she supports them in deciding what that step looks like.

How Georgianne’s approaches translate to online work

Georgianne uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in straightforward ways. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and then choose actions that match their values, which can be useful for depression and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying patterns of unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily routines.

She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and working at the client’s pace. That approach helps people feel heard and supported while they try new strategies. Choosing the right mix of these approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then adjust methods as work continues.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, cut travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Many people find that working remotely lets them practice skills in day-to-day settings and brings therapy into the flow of their routine.
