About Giovanni
Giovanni Bass is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship strain. He works with concerns such as codependency, grief, addiction, anger, and sleeping problems.

He blends practical talk with guided exercises. Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thought patterns, building stronger communication, and developing coping skills for intense emotions. Giovanni uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to shape the work in the room.
Over 14 years he has worked with a range of concerns that include intimacy issues, attachment questions, blended family challenges, and midlife transitions. His background includes treating trauma and helping people recover from shame, guilt, and isolation. Giovanni also brings attention to life purpose and men's issues when those emerge in sessions.
Sessions often include goal-setting, skill practice, and reflection on patterns that keep people stuck. He encourages small, achievable steps and checks progress regularly. The tone aims to be direct and supportive while focusing on what a person wants to change.
People who choose him can expect conversations about values, behavior change, and relationship dynamics. He works in English and practices in North Carolina as an LCSW.
How Giovanni Uses Practical Therapies Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking action that fits those values, even when emotions are difficult. It often helps people dealing with anxiety, codependency, or life transitions who want clearer direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotional experience in relationships and helps people improve connection and communication when intimacy or attachment issues are present.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Giovanni will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then suggest approaches that fit. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as progress is made.
If you plan to use online therapy, confirm the exact session formats before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or offer an option when travel or schedules make in-person visits difficult. Licensed professionals can use these methods to teach skills, practice new ways of relating, and track small changes between sessions.
