Giovanni Bass

Giovanni Bass, LCSW, practices from a perspective that blends evidence-based techniques with attention to spiritual and relational concerns. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, and a range of relationship and intimacy-related issues. His approach is shaped by training in cognitive behavioral methods, mindfulness, emotionally-focused work, and therapies that emphasize values and acceptance.

Giovanni also addresses family and blended family dynamics, attachment and codependency patterns, anger and impulse control, and challenges such as isolation, infidelity, and forgiveness. He has military experience and has provided clinical support to veterans and active duty service members. Earlier work included clinical contact with individuals in multiple regions internationally.

Treatment plans are constructed from modalities that include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered techniques, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, the Gottman Method, and mindfulness-based work, with additional use of narrative, rational emotive, and psychodynamic ideas when appropriate. He frames care around collaboration, helping people clarify values, notice patterns, and build practical strategies for daily life.
