About Georgianne
Georgianne Nacionales is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who uses a conversational, client-centered style to help people work through relationship and family concerns. She frames therapy as a partnership and focuses on helping people build confidence, motivation, and practical skills. Georgianne practices from Hawaii and brings eight years of post-licensure clinical experience to her work.
She begins by listening to what matters most to the person in front of her. Sessions are nonjudgmental and aim to create a space where people can speak openly about parenting, family conflict, or challenges with intimacy and self-esteem. Georgianne emphasizes strengths and practical steps rather than blaming or shame.
Her background includes a Master of Social Work with a child and family concentration and a Master of Special Education with applied behavior analysis coursework. Across her career she has worked with a wide age range and with many social services roles, which informs a straightforward, skills-based approach.
Georgianne integrates approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness to help people manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and addiction-related struggles. She also addresses issues such as grief, trauma, ADHD, and caregiver stress with focused techniques and coaching-style support.
People who meet with her can expect collaborative goal-setting and practical tools to try between sessions. She frames progress as small, steady steps and aims to help clients feel more in control of daily challenges and life transitions.
Online approaches grounded in skills and values
Georgianne uses methods that focus on values, present-moment awareness, and practical thinking skills. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches concrete strategies to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful thinking patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Georgianne treats the first few sessions as a chance to hear your goals and try techniques together. She collaborates with clients to decide which methods feel most helpful and adjusts the plan as needs and preferences change.
If you are considering online care, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Many people find online sessions helpful because they make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use video or phone to deliver ACT and CBT techniques, practice mindfulness exercises, and assign brief between-session exercises to support steady progress.
