About Georgianne
Georgianne Nacionales is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Hawaii with eight years of post-licensure clinical experience. She draws on decades in the social services field to help people navigate relationship concerns, family tensions, parenting stress, and shifts in identity and motivation. Her style is straightforward and respectful, focused on helping people feel heard and stronger over time.
Georgianne holds a Master of Social Work with a child and family concentration and a Master of Special Education with an applied behavior analysis concentration. Earlier roles across social services exposed her to people of many ages and life situations, and that range informs how she tailors sessions. She names practical steps alongside emotional work so clients can use therapy between visits.
Her sessions begin as a conversation about whatever matters most to the client. She brings an open, nonjudgmental stance and aims to create a working relationship where clients can try out new ways of coping. The goal is to help clients feel more empowered while attending to their specific concerns.
Georgianne uses several evidence-based approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered methods, combined with mindfulness and skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when helpful. These approaches support work on stress, anxiety, mood concerns, relationship and family issues, and challenges tied to adoption and foster care.
She encourages people to take the first step even when it feels hard, and she views her role as a supportive collaborator through change.
Therapeutic approaches and online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values while learning to notice painful thoughts without getting stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, accepting relationship where the therapist listens closely and follows the client's lead in deciding what to work on.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, needs, and preferences and suggest methods that fit those priorities. Together they can try different tools and adjust the plan based on what feels most useful in real life.
Session options are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session formats before booking. Online therapy can make fitting sessions into a busy schedule easier by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and letting people join from locations with quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth. Licensed professionals can use these advantages to keep progress moving between appointments without promising a particular service.
