Background and approach
Sessions focus on understanding what keeps difficult patterns active and building small, usable skills to interrupt them. He often combines mindfulness, values-based work, and tools to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. His work also attends to attachment, communication, codependency, forgiveness, and the stress that comes with blended families or separation.
He aims to make conversations about guilt, shame, jealousy, and midlife concerns direct and manageable. Sessions are practical and oriented toward everyday life improvements. Giovanni offers different formats for online care including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
He practices in North Carolina and conducts therapy in English. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a time through the Start Therapy button.
That process helps match preferences and availability before the first session.
Online approaches that focus on values and relationships
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small actions toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and feeling stuck in life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with practical experiments. It is commonly used for anxiety, sleep problems, anger, and depressive symptoms because it gives specific skills to change thoughts and behavior.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) and elements of the Gottman Method offer ways to understand emotional patterns in relationships and improve communication and connection. These approaches help when intimacy, trust, jealousy, or recurring conflict are a concern.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they’ll try methods that fit the person’s needs and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. Video lets people use visual cues for relationship work, phone can be a shorter check-in or work with lower bandwidth, and text or chat is helpful for brief check-ins or when writing out thoughts helps. These options make it easier to attend regular sessions despite busy lives or travel.
