Background and approach

Gigi also addresses parenting concerns and common mood struggles in straightforward ways. In sessions she listens for the story behind a person’s struggles and treats each client as the expert on their own life. She helps people notice strengths and build on them.

Conversations are guided by curiosity rather than judgment. Her approach blends attachment-based ideas, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. This mix allows her to teach coping skills, reframe unhelpful thoughts, and practice new habits.

She works with people on body image, caregiving stress, communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation, and life purpose. Gigi encourages steps toward lasting change, including smoking or vaping cessation and healthier routines. She supports people aiming for more self-love and improvement at work.

Starting therapy is framed as a practical step toward clearer goals and better daily functioning.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Gigi uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT is practical and goal-focused, useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and stress management.

She also draws on client-centered therapy, which centers the conversation on each person’s experience. This approach emphasizes listening, respect, and supporting a person’s own goals. Attachment-based ideas are used to notice patterns in close relationships and improve how people connect with others.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Gigi collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She may mix techniques and adjust them as progress is made.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging provide flexible options for brief updates, homework check-ins, or when written reflection feels easiest. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into busy days and varied schedules.
