About Giovanni

Giovanni Bass is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and problems with self-esteem. He also supports people dealing with relationship strain, trauma and abuse, addictions, anger, sleep troubles, and major life changes. Giovanni’s language is plain and direct, and he aims to make conversations feel straightforward and useful.

He uses a mix of well-known approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and the Gottman Method. Sessions commonly focus on identifying unhelpful thought patterns, improving communication, and building practical skills for managing emotions and impulses. Giovanni also integrates spiritual perspectives when clients want that included, helping them connect personal values and a relationship with a higher power to their healing work.

With 14 years of experience and LCSW credentials in California and Arizona noted, he brings a variety of clinical experience to sessions. He has worked with people affected by trauma and adjustment challenges and has supported those navigating divorce, blended family issues, codependency, and forgiveness work. His background includes work with veterans and others who have experienced combat-related stress.

Giovanni emphasizes collaborative planning. He and the client set clear goals and make a plan that fits daily life. Practical assignments between sessions are often used to test new skills and track progress.

How his approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice painful thoughts without being ruled by them and to act in line with personal values. It can help with anxiety, low self-esteem, and making tough life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through clear exercises and homework. It often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and impulsive behaviors. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on emotions and connection, aiming to improve communication and closeness in relationships and to process attachment wounds.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they choose or blend methods so sessions match needs and daily life demands.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session options before booking. In practice, online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a brief session is needed. It also makes it possible to continue momentum after major life moves or schedule disruptions. Licensed professionals can use these methods successfully across distance, tailoring exercises and between-session work to how the person lives their life.
