More about Giannie

I'm a therapist with over a decade of experience supporting individuals through life's most meaningful transitions and challenges. I work with clients across the lifespan, bringing a compassionate, culturally responsive approach to therapy.
My practice centers on helping people cultivate self-love, strengthen communication, and navigate complex relational dynamics—including attachment patterns, commitment concerns, and infidelity. I'm also deeply committed to supporting women through pregnancy, childbirth, body image concerns, and broader women's issues. I work with clients exploring life purpose, forgiveness, family-of-origin patterns, and blended family dynamics.
I have experience supporting individuals facing workplace stress, caregiver burnout, immigration transitions, and multicultural concerns. I'm also trained to work with clients managing self-harm, impulsivity, control issues, and avoidant patterns, as well as those navigating HIV/AIDS-related concerns.
My approach is grounded in empathy, authenticity, and a deep respect for each person's unique story and identity. I believe therapy is a collaborative journey where you are the expert of your own experience, and I'm here to walk alongside you with care and genuine support.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
