About Rochelle

Rochelle Giovannini is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida with 25 years of professional experience. She focuses on practical support for everyday problems like stress, anxiety, depression, work challenges, motivation, and self-esteem. Rochelle aims to listen closely and help people find clear steps forward when life feels overwhelming.

She believes each person knows their story best and brings that knowledge into sessions. Her style is collaborative and respectful, with an emphasis on active listening and simple, usable strategies.

Background and approach

Conversations cover what is happening now and what the client wants to change next. Rochelle uses several evidence-based approaches to guide her work. She often draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful patterns, and mindfulness practices to help people stay grounded in stressful moments.

Attachment-based ideas shape how she looks at relationship patterns and communication habits. Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including parenting, family stress, addiction, trauma and abuse, bipolar and mood disorders, postpartum depression, caregiver stress, and multicultural issues. She also supports people dealing with life transitions, financial worries, grief, and intimacy-related struggles.

Sessions can be conducted in English, Spanish, or Portuguese. Rochelle works with international clients and adapts sessions to fit each person’s needs and circumstances. She aims to create a space where practical problem-solving meets respect for each client’s values and background.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Rochelle commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that match personal values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and making life changes. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with practical exercises to change mood and behavior.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Rochelle will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then suggest a path forward. The plan can be adjusted as therapy unfolds so techniques match the client’s real needs.

Online therapy gives practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and keep continuity during life transitions. Licensed professionals can use these formats to practice the same CBT, ACT, and mindfulness skills they would in person while adapting exercises to remote communication.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
