Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Giovanna incorporates several evidence-informed approaches into her practice to meet different needs and goals. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify what matters most to them and take meaningful action while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and early bonds, helping clients understand relational triggers and build healthier connections with partners, family members, or themselves. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors by teaching practical skills and strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Giovanna works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so care remains aligned with the client’s priorities.
Online therapy with Giovanna is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home or work, and choose the mode of communication that best supports progress with licensed professionals and therapists.
