Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values and take committed actions even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings appear. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and patterns that interfere with meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical exercises and skill practice, often supporting work on anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows the client's lead and fosters self-exploration and personal growth, which can be especially helpful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and motivation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Francesca collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time so treatment remains practical and relevant. This collaborative stance helps tailor care to what actually works for the individual.

Online therapy with Francesca is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for varied schedules and life demands. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from different locations, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for each stage of work.
