About Giovanni
Giovanni Bass is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, and relationship and intimacy concerns. He is experienced addressing anger, sleep problems, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. Giovanni also works with issues like attachment, codependency, communication struggles, and men's issues.
He uses practical talk and focused exercises to help people change unhelpful patterns. His background includes 14 years in practice and work with people experiencing trauma and adjustment challenges. Giovanni brings a straightforward, person-centered style that aims to build awareness and practical skills.
Sessions often focus on identifying automatic thoughts and behaviors, then testing new ways of responding. He draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, emotion-focused work, and relationship-focused methods to help people strengthen connections and reduce distress.
Giovanni integrates personal values and, when clients wish, spiritual perspectives into therapy to support meaning and purpose. He emphasizes developing self-awareness and clearer communication so people can make steadier choices in relationships and daily life.
Based in North Carolina, Giovanni brings a calm, goal-oriented presence. He encourages small, manageable steps that fit into everyday routines and supports people as they practice new skills between sessions.
Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry or low mood. It often includes practical exercises and homework between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) targets emotional patterns that undermine relationships and helps people form safer bonds and clearer communication.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Giovanni will work with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs and goals. He uses input from clients to adjust the plan over time so sessions match what the person hopes to change.
Confirm available session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example it can reduce travel time, allow scheduling during a lunch break, or make shorter check-ins possible when needed. Online sessions also let people try exercises and practice skills between meetings in the settings where they live and relate, which can speed up learning and change.
