About Giovanni
Giovanni Bass is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina with 14 years of experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, addictions, grief, and intimacy-related issues. Giovanni also addresses sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, and coping with major life changes.
He uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and the Gottman Method. Sessions focus on naming emotions, noticing interaction patterns, and building clearer ways of relating to others and to oneself. He offers space to look at attachment concerns, communication problems, codependency, and issues like infidelity or blended family stress.
Giovanni writes treatment plans that target impulse control, anger management, negative thought patterns, and self-awareness. He has worked with people experiencing PTSD and has included spiritually integrated psychotherapy for clients who want that emphasis. His background includes military service work and experience working with veterans and active duty service members on trauma and adjustment issues.
Practical work in sessions includes skill-building, thought work, and conversations about values and life purpose. He helps people consider changes and practice different ways of responding. The aim is to clarify what matters and take manageable steps toward those goals.

How his approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name hard-to-identify emotions and notice interaction patterns that keep problems repeating. It is often used when relationship patterns and attachment concerns are central. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and learning small actions that align with those values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns.Choosing the right approach is usually collaborative. Giovanni will work with each person to identify which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That decision can change as therapy progresses and new issues come up.
The therapist's profile does not specify online session formats here, so confirm which options he currently offers before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people continue work when relocating within the same country. Ask about the session types available and any scheduling details when you complete the matching steps.
