Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Francesca works primarily with cognitive behavioral therapy and a client-centered, humanistic approach. Cognitive behavioral therapy - CBT - helps people understand how thoughts, emotions and behaviors interact and offers practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns; it is commonly used for anxiety, panic, depression and stress-related difficulties. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a warm, empathic therapeutic relationship and creating space for clients to explore their experience; this approach supports self-understanding, self-esteem and relational concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Francesca treats that choice as collaborative. She will work with each person to identify goals, preferences and needs, and adapt methods accordingly so that therapy feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy with Francesca is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and life circumstances. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and fit sessions around work and family commitments while still working closely with a licensed professional to address meaningful change.
