Her work draws on approaches that address how people connect with others and how thoughts and habits affect feelings. She uses tools to notice emotions, shift unhelpful thinking, and build skills for intense moments. These techniques are used alongside a warm, collaborative style.
Gia also pays attention to background issues that impact daily life, such as family of origin concerns, adoption and foster care experiences, chronic health challenges, and transitions tied to aging. She offers support for struggles like communication problems, codependency, dissociation, and recovery from domestic violence or separation.

She works with each person at their own pace, helping them set realistic steps and practice new skills between sessions. The goal is clearer coping, better decisions, and more manageable days.
How Gia blends online therapy and therapeutic approaches
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape how people connect and respond to stress. It helps when trust or closeness feels difficult and when relationship patterns cause repeated hurt.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers clear strategies to challenge unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes.
Gia approaches treatment as a collaboration. She will work with each person to pick approaches that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they try methods, check what helps, and adjust plans over time.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video works well for longer discussions and working through skills. Phone sessions or voice-only calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, quick practice of coping skills, or fitting support around a busy day. These options make it easier to maintain steady work toward goals without travel or long scheduling hurdles.
