ACT can be especially helpful for coping with painful emotions, navigating life changes, and strengthening commitment to meaningful goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Giovanna works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Treatment plans are adapted over time as goals evolve and new priorities emerge.

These options allow clients to engage in consistent care from home or other convenient locations, making it easier to fit therapy into busy lives while preserving continuity of support with licensed professionals and therapists.
