About Giovanni
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 3 years of experience, Giovanni Castillo-Gomez helps people with stress, anxiety, addictions, LGBT concerns, self-esteem, and depression. He frames clients as the experts in their own stories and focuses on practical steps to reduce what feels overwhelming.
Giovanni listens for what gets in the way of day-to-day functioning. He works with clients to identify small changes that can reduce stress and improve mood. Sessions focus on building routines, clarifying values, and practicing coping skills that fit into daily life.
He approaches recovery from addiction in straightforward terms, helping people recognize triggers and create realistic plans for safer choices. For anxiety and low self-esteem, he uses goal-focused conversations to challenge unhelpful thinking and support incremental confidence-building tasks.
Giovanni is direct about collaboration. He treats clients as partners in setting goals and picking techniques that feel doable. He encourages regular check-ins so plans can be adjusted when something is not working.
Practical matters are part of his work. He helps people map out what getting support will look like week to week. If you want to try therapy, he asks a few simple questions at the start and uses those answers to shape the first sessions.

How his therapeutic approaches work for remote care
Giovanni uses evidence-based techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach helps people spot and change thoughts that feed anxiety or low mood; it involves tracking thought patterns and testing them with small, real-world experiments. This approach suits people who want concrete steps and measurable progress.Another approach he emphasizes addresses addictive behaviors through planning and skills training. It concentrates on identifying triggers, creating short-term coping plans, and building routines that reduce risk. This method helps when the goal is clearer choices and steadier daily structure.
Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work. He collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences, then adjusts the plan over time based on what helps most.
Confirm current session options before booking as formats are not listed here. Online care can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. If you need less screen time, discuss alternatives with him when scheduling so sessions match your day-to-day needs.
