Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and build practical habits that align with those values. It focuses on accepting difficult emotions while committing to meaningful action, and can be helpful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns by teaching concrete skills for managing symptoms. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and impulse control issues, offering structured tools for day-to-day coping.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on patterns in close relationships and the emotions that drive them. It supports couples and family members in improving emotional connection, increasing understanding, and repairing relationship ruptures.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Giovanni collaborates with clients to identify which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility by allowing sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule appointments, maintain continuity during life changes, and access licensed professionals from where clients are located, while still focusing on effective therapeutic progress.
