About Georgianne
Georgianne Nacionales is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who brings eight years of post-graduate clinical experience to her practice. She is based in Hawaii and focuses on helping people facing relationship and family stress, parenting concerns, self-esteem struggles, anxiety, depression, and sleep and rest difficulties. She uses a collaborative, nonjudgmental style and aims to help people feel more empowered in their day-to-day lives.
Her background includes a Master of Social Work with a child and family concentration and a Master of Special Education with an applied behavior analysis concentration. Across a long career in social services she has worked with a wide age range of individuals and has nearly 20 years of professional experience in related roles.
In sessions she begins with conversation to identify what matters most to the client. She listens without judgment and focuses on the person’s strengths. Her goal is to create a therapeutic space where people can safely try new skills and make gradual changes.
Georgianne draws on several practical therapy methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, and client-centered approaches. She uses these tools to address things like coping with life changes, stress, addictions, trauma, grief, and career concerns.
Many people work with her on parenting, family of origin issues, codependency, and communication problems. She also supports those managing chronic pain or illness, caregiver stress, abandonment concerns, and intimacy-related challenges. The focus is on clear steps and useful strategies rather than jargon.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings while focusing on what matters most. It often helps with stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and motivation by encouraging values-based action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful patterns; this can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and coping with life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That conversation shapes session focus, pace, and which skills are practiced between meetings.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce time spent traveling to sessions, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a day. It also makes it simpler to continue care across moves within the same state. Talk with the therapist about how sessions will be scheduled and what to expect so they can arrange a plan that works with your routine.
