About Georgianne

Georgianne Nacionales is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Hawaii with eight years of post-graduate clinical experience. She offers a warm, nonjudgmental style and focuses on building a trusting conversation to address concerns you bring to therapy. Georgianne emphasizes helping people gain confidence, strengthen relationships, and manage life stressors so they can move toward a more fulfilling life.

She holds a Master of Social Work with a child and family concentration and a Master of Special Education with an applied behavior analysis concentration. Across her career in social services she has worked with people at many life stages, giving her experience with a wide range of concerns including depression, bipolar issues, anxiety, addiction, grief, and trauma and abuse.

In sessions she starts with a conversation to identify what matters most to the client. She aims to create a respectful space where clients can talk openly about parenting, family conflict, communication problems, and self-esteem struggles. Georgianne looks for each person’s strengths and helps them use those strengths to meet practical goals.

Her clinical approach draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. She blends these methods to match the pace and needs of each person she works with and to teach skills for coping with stress, ADHD-related challenges, and compassion fatigue.

Georgianne encourages anyone taking the first step toward change to reach out. To begin, use the site’s Start Therapy flow and complete the short matching questionnaire to schedule according to therapist availability.

How her approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what really matters and take small actions in line with those values. It’s useful for self-esteem struggles, life changes, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical exercises to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, respect, and letting the client set the pace and goals of therapy.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Georgianne will talk with you about your goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together you can try methods that feel like a good fit and adjust the plan as needed.

Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example shorter check-ins can work during a lunch break, phone conversations can be a good option when video isn’t practical, and remote sessions can reduce travel time. Licensed professionals use these flexible arrangements to help clients practice skills between sessions and apply changes directly in daily routines.
