Approach choices for online parenting and life work
Giovanna commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters most, accept difficult feelings, and take small steps toward chosen values. This can be useful for parenting stress, anxiety, and making lasting life changes.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how past relationships affect current connections. This approach helps people understand patterns in closeness, trust, and communication with partners and children.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Giovanna will work with each person to identify goals and try methods that feel like a good fit. She adjusts techniques over time so work in sessions matches daily life and parenting demands.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people see nonverbal cues and practice skills together. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a quick check-in. Live chat and messaging are useful for short updates, homework, or steady support between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare, and other routines.
