About Giovanni

Giovanni Bass is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma, and addiction. He also supports those dealing with grief, sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem, and major life changes. He speaks English and practices in North Carolina.

Giovanni uses straightforward talk therapy that focuses on practical steps and self-awareness. Sessions often look at thought patterns, impulse control, and communication skills. He draws from approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy and emotionally-focused methods to address how people think and relate to one another.

His work also pays attention to attachment and relationship patterns, including blended family tensions, codependency, infidelity, and communication breakdowns. He offers tools for coping with guilt, shame, jealousy, and isolation. For people facing midlife transitions or struggles with life purpose, he helps clarify values and next steps.

Giovanni describes a spiritual element in his practice for those who want it, working with clients to explore meaning and, if desired, a relationship with a higher power as part of healing. He brings 14 years of clinical experience to his practice and lists LCSW as his credential.

How specific approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps in that direction while accepting difficult emotions. It can be useful for depression, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and trying practical experiments to change behavior and mood. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on understanding emotional responses in relationships and improving how people connect and respond to one another, which can help intimacy and communication issues.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Giovanni will collaborate with each person to identify goals and try approaches that match those goals and preferences. He adjusts plans over time based on what helps most, and he invites feedback so the process stays focused on the client's needs.

The biography does not list which online session types are offered, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce time spent traveling, and allow a quicker check-in when life gets hectic. Different approaches also shape how sessions are used - for example CBT sessions may include short between-session experiments, while ACT may focus on values-based homework that fits into daily routines.
