How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, anger, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying concrete behavior changes and coping exercises, which can reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past and current relationship patterns affect emotional responses; it helps people understand closeness, trust, and conflict in relationships.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Giovanna works with each person to decide which methods fit best, based on their goals, life situation, and preferences. She combines techniques as needed and checks in to adjust the plan over time.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls are close to an in-person session and allow face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions are lower bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share updates between sessions and get brief check-ins without scheduling a full call. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, parenting, or health demands while using approaches like ACT and CBT in everyday situations.
