Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Deborah Giannone

Deborah draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action that aligns with what matters most, which can be especially helpful for anxiety, stress, and challenges related to mood or addiction.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes empathy, active listening, and respect for each person's experience. This approach creates a supportive context where clients can explore emotions, gain insight, and build self-directed solutions for issues such as trauma recovery, relationship concerns, and life transitions.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Deborah works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She partners with each person to adjust strategies as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, by phone, via live chat, or through text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access therapists from where you are, and choose the format that supports ongoing work toward personal goals.
