About Giovanni
Giovanni Castillo-Gomez helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, self-esteem, and LGBT-related concerns. He introduces a calm, straightforward approach so conversations feel manageable. He emphasizes strengths and practical steps rather than jargon.
If starting therapy feels hard, he frames that first step as something to be proud of. Giovanni is a Licensed Professional Counselor, licensed in Texas, with three years of clinical experience. He listens for the patterns that cause repeated stress and then helps people try small, doable changes.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear goals and building skills that fit daily life. He uses everyday language so ideas are easy to apply between meetings. In sessions he centers the client as the expert on their own life.
He helps people name what matters, set realistic steps, and track progress one small move at a time. Conversations often include practical strategies for coping, planning, and improving motivation and confidence. Giovanni believes therapy should feel collaborative.
He offers a steady, respectful presence and encourages clients to use their strengths. The goal is to reduce the impact of symptoms on day-to-day routines and increase a person’s sense of control. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability.
He works in English and provides sessions in several online formats to fit different needs.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Giovanni uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach emphasizes building coping skills for stress and anxiety, teaching simple breathing, grounding, and planning exercises to reduce overwhelming moments and improve daily functioning. Another approach targets motivation and self-esteem by identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors that build confidence over time.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will collaborate with each person to pick techniques that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. That shared decision-making helps tailor sessions so strategies are realistic and useful outside of meetings.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets people work face-to-face when that feels helpful, phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflections between scheduled meetings. These options make it easier to schedule consistent care and to use methods that fit a client’s routine and needs.
