About Giovanni
Giovanni Bass is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California and Arizona with 14 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, and compassion fatigue.
He uses practical methods to address problems that show up in daily life. That includes work on impulse control, anger, communication, self-esteem, sleeping, and managing life changes. He also focuses on attachment and blended family issues, codependency, infidelity, isolation and related concerns.
Giovanni draws from a mix of evidence-informed approaches. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and change behavior patterns. He also works with Emotionally-Focused and Gottman-based techniques for relationship concerns.
Sessions emphasize clear goals and hands-on skills. Clients can expect practical exercises, thought work, and discussion about behaviors and relationship patterns. Spiritual beliefs may be part of therapy when relevant to the person’s goals.
Giovanni’s background includes clinical work with diverse populations and settings. He has experience addressing trauma, adjustment after deployment, and challenges that come with major life transitions. People looking for a steady, direct approach to emotional and relationship problems may find this helpful.
BHow sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to the person and taking steps that match those values. It helps with anxiety, depression, and feeling stuck by teaching practical actions and acceptance skills. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors together and uses exercises to change patterns that feed symptoms like worry, low mood, and sleep problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotions and attachment needs within close relationships and can help people address intimacy and communication problems.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Giovanni will talk with the person about goals and preferences and then try strategies that fit those aims. Over a few sessions he reviews what works and adjusts the plan together with the client.
The therapist’s biography did not list specific online session formats, so confirm the current session options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time and letting people schedule therapy around work or family responsibilities. Some methods translate to shorter check-ins or to exercises done between meetings, which helps keep progress steady even when weeks are busy.
