   About Rochelle

   Rochelle Giovannini is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor practicing in Florida with 25 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Rochelle aims to listen actively and guide clients toward practical steps they can use day to day.

   She works from the view that each person knows their own story best. Sessions often involve clear conversation about what’s getting in the way, and small, manageable goals to try between meetings. Rochelle supports people dealing with motivation, self-esteem, parenting strain, and work-related challenges.

   Her approach draws on several familiar methods, including motivational interviewing to explore readiness for change, acceptance and commitment therapy to clarify values and action, and cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thinking patterns. Attachment-based ideas inform how she looks at relationship patterns and intimacy concerns.

   Rochelle also helps with issues like grief, caregiver stress, postpartum mood changes, addiction concerns, and multicultural adjustments. She offers help around communication problems, divorce and separation, money stress, and finding life purpose.

   Sessions are offered in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. Rochelle accepts international clients and works with people who want practical, conversational therapy that focuses on small steps and real-world coping. To begin, she asks that clients use the Start Therapy flow to match and schedule a first appointment.

2. Approaches that guide online sessions

   Rochelle uses motivational interviewing to help people explore their readiness for change and to build internal motivation. That approach is useful for issues like addiction, career shifts, or when someone feels stuck and wants to try something new.
   
   She also works with acceptance and commitment therapy, which focuses on clarifying personal values and taking concrete steps toward them. ACT can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions by shifting attention toward meaningful action. Attachment-based ideas are included to look at how early relationship patterns affect current intimacy and communication concerns.
   
   Picking the right method is part of the work. Rochelle collaborates with each person to figure out which approaches match their goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts strategies based on what is or isn’t helping.
   
   If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit into a busy week. It can also allow for shorter check-ins or telephone conversations when video is not practical. Talk with her during the matching process about which format would fit your needs and daily life.
