About Georgianne
Georgianne Nacionales is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Hawaii with eight years of post-licensure clinical experience and a longer career in social services. She holds a Master of Social Work with a child and family concentration and a Master in Special Education with an applied behavior analysis focus. Georgianne has worked across a wide age range in her career and helps people handle relationship strain, family conflict, parenting struggles, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence.
Her style begins with conversation. She listens to what matters most and shapes sessions around the concerns you bring. Sessions are straightforward and nonjudgmental. Georgianne respects each person's history while focusing on practical next steps.
Georgianne uses a mix of proven approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness practices. She draws on these methods to help with anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, addiction concerns, ADHD, and issues around intimacy and identity.
She also addresses family-related themes like abandonment, adoption and foster care questions, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, and fatherhood issues. Georgianne works with concerns tied to anger, eating and sleeping problems, chronic pain and illness, and career stress.
In sessions she helps people set small goals, try new skills between meetings, and notice what’s changing. The focus is on clear, manageable steps rather than labels or judgments. For someone carrying guilt or shame about relationships, family, or past choices, she offers steady, practical support to work through those feelings.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Georgianne draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT helps people notice what matters to them and practice actions in line with those values even when hard feelings arise. CBT focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns and trying practical experiments to change how those patterns affect mood and functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work together with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, adjusting techniques as needed during care. The collaboration includes setting achievable goals and checking progress regularly.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, require less travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a full in-person visit would be harder to schedule. Licensed professionals often use video, phone, or message-based contact in different ways; confirm which of these are offered when you set up the first appointment.
