Approaches that translate to online care

Francesca blends practical, evidence-informed strategies into online sessions to help clients build skills and stabilize mood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching concrete tools to reframe thinking and alter reactions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers a structured set of skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships, with techniques that support emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple attention and breathing practices that help clients increase awareness, reduce reactivity, and develop a steadier sense of calm.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Francesca works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and adjusts the plan over time based on what proves most helpful.

Online therapy with Francesca can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy periods or life transitions and allow therapists and clients to focus on practical skill-building and emotional growth from convenient locations.
