How Francesca’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, anger, and life transitions by teaching practical ways to move toward what matters.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing small behavior changes. CBT is often used for mood, sleep, and stress problems because it breaks issues into clear steps that can be practiced between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. Those skills can help with intense anger, relationship conflict, and coping under pressure.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Francesca will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit their situation. She treats therapy as a collaboration and adjusts techniques based on what helps most.
Online formats include video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a focused check-in. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, coaching-style support, or scheduling flexibility. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping a steady path toward change.
