Giovanna conducts work in English and does not take international clients. Costs vary with location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Giovanna frequently uses cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based ideas in her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to reduce distress; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors. Attachment-based therapy looks at relationship patterns that started early in life and helps people understand how those patterns show up now in relationships and emotion regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Giovanna frames therapy as a collaborative effort and will help clients choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and values. She adjusts methods over time based on what is working for the person.

The original biography lists messaging, phone, live chat, and video sessions as offered formats. Confirm which of these are currently available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions can happen from more convenient locations. Different formats can suit different tasks - for example, a video session for deeper work or a brief message or phone check-in for quick skill practice or scheduling adjustments.
