How Giovanni’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most, accept difficult emotions, and take committed actions toward a valued life. It is useful for anxiety, anger, and major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like depression, anxiety, and sleep problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) targets emotional patterns in relationships to improve connection and communication.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Giovanni will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they try methods and adjust the plan as needed so therapy fits practical needs and personal values.
Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone works well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging let someone keep progress going between sessions and share updates without scheduling a full call. These options make it easier to fit work on emotions and behavior into a busy life.
