Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Gian often blends Attachment-Based Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people understand relationship patterns and take meaningful action. Attachment-based work looks at early relationship patterns and how they show up now, which can help with intimacy, trust, and communication. ACT focuses on clarifying what matters to you and practicing actions that match those values, which can be useful for depression, anxiety, and life transitions.He also draws on Client-Centered therapy ideas to create a respectful, listening-focused space where goals are set together. Finding the right approach is part of the process; the therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to a person's needs, goals, and preferences rather than sticking to a single method from the start.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when bandwidth permits. Phone sessions can be helpful when a quieter setting or less bandwidth is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer brief check-ins, flexible communication, and a way to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
