Georgianne Nacionales, LCSW

Georgianne Nacionales is an LCSW based in Hawaii who brings eight years of clinical experience to sessions. She holds a Master of Social Work and a Master in Special Education, and she has spent nearly 20 years working in social services. Georgianne focuses on relationship concerns, family and parenting issues, self-esteem, anxiety, and related struggles such as grief, addiction, and trauma.

She opens therapy with a conversational, nonjudgmental tone. Sessions start by listening to what matters most to the client and naming priorities together. The aim is practical progress - helping people feel more confident, motivated, and able to manage stress and life changes.

Georgianne uses straightforward tools from approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness to help people notice patterns and try new choices. She also draws on client-centered and dialectical behavior ideas to support emotion regulation and clearer communication.

Her background working with a wide age range and a child and family concentration informs how she talks about parenting, family dynamics, and blended family challenges. She brings experience with issues such as abandonment, codependency, caregiver stress, and fatherhood concerns.

In sessions Georgianne aims to help people build on their strengths and set manageable steps toward change. She invites clients to be active partners in the work and to pace progress according to their needs. If someone is ready to begin, she guides the first steps toward scheduling and goal setting.

Using proven approaches in online therapy

Georgianne integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into her online work. ACT helps people notice their values and take action toward them even when emotions are strong, which can help with relationship patterns and feelings like jealousy. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change behavior.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit best for their goals and preferences. That means trying ideas, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than following a fixed script.

Confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing appointments during a break or between errands. It can also make shorter check-ins or focused skills practice easier to schedule. Licensed professionals including therapists use online sessions to continue goal-focused work in ways that match everyday routines.
