About Georgianne
Georgianne Nacionales is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Hawaii with eight years of post-graduate clinical experience. She works with people who are dealing with relationship strain, family and parenting challenges, self-esteem concerns, stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief, and codependency.

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. Her background includes nearly 20 years in social services, and she has helped people across the lifespan in various settings.

She helps people learn skills for managing strong emotions, improving communication, and making choices that match their values.
People who come for support may focus on setting boundaries, improving parenting or family dynamics, coping with life changes, or dealing with addictive patterns. The work often includes practice between sessions and concrete tools to try in daily life.

How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small committed steps toward those values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. It is useful for people who feel stuck, struggle with people-pleasing, or want clearer direction in relationships.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing practical changes. It often helps with anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns like codependent coping by teaching new ways to respond.
Georgianne approaches choice of method collaboratively. She will work with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and preferences. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan over time.
Session format options are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online session types before booking. In practice, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use quieter surroundings or lower-bandwidth options. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT exercises for remote work so clients can practice skills between sessions and bring real-life situations into therapy.
