Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Gian draws on Existential Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and to face life choices with more awareness. This approach can help when someone feels lost, stuck, or wants clearer direction in relationships or life roles.He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which teaches skills to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to commit to actions that match personal values. ACT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related patterns.
Attachment-Based Therapy informs how he looks at relationship patterns and closeness. That work focuses on how early connections shape current ways of relating and aims to build more supported and satisfying interactions.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to see which approaches fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and will adjust as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is good for deeper conversations and nonverbal cues, phone can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and chat or messaging can fit busy schedules or quick reflections between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, family, and travel routines.
