About Georgianne

Georgianne Nacionales is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Hawaii with eight years of clinical experience. She has a master’s degree in social work with a child and family concentration and a master’s in special education with an applied behavior analysis concentration. She has worked in social services for nearly 20 years and has helped people with relationship and family concerns, parenting issues, self-esteem, motivation, and confidence.

Her work often focuses on practical problems at home and in relationships. She helps people talk through family conflict, parenting challenges, communication problems, and commitment concerns. She also supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and substance concerns, and struggles with sleep, eating, or anger.

Sessions begin as a conversation about what matters most to the client. She uses clear, evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral approaches, acceptance and commitment ideas, and mindfulness skills. The goal is to learn specific tools to manage emotions, reduce unhelpful patterns, and make changes that fit daily life.

Georgianne places importance on straightforward collaboration. She views clients as the experts on their own lives and offers guidance, coaching, and skills practice. Practical problem solving and skills rehearsal are part of most sessions.

People who choose her work with life transitions, caregiver stress, blended family issues, adoption and foster care concerns, and long-term chronic health or pain challenges. She also brings experience addressing codependency, abandonment, family-of-origin problems, and fatherhood issues.

BHow sessions work

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take steps that match those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practicing concrete skills to change them. It often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and mood regulation.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness. These skills can support emotion regulation, stress management, and interpersonal calm.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit their situation and preferences. Treatment plans can include skills practice, coaching, and problem-solving that reflect the client’s needs.

Session formats are not listed in the supplied biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday break, avoid travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when life is busy. Ask about session length and delivery method when you complete the matching questionnaire so sessions match your schedule and practical needs.
