About Giancarlo
He has substantial experience supporting parents facing parenting challenges, people coping with major life changes, and members of the LGBTIA+ community, including those who identify as gender fluid or non-binary. His clinical practice also addresses issues such as addiction, anger, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and career-related stress. Additional areas of focus include chronic illness and pain, blended family dynamics, and fathers dealing with role and identity concerns.
Giancarlo approaches therapy from a strength-based perspective, believing that each person is the expert of their own story and already possesses resources to move toward a more fulfilling life. He aims to support and empower clients through collaborative work that honors their goals and values, helping them take courageous steps toward change and greater well-being.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Giancarlo commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and supports taking value-driven action - it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and unconditional positive regard so clients can explore their experiences and build self-directed growth, often helping with relationship and identity concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and improve coping, and is frequently used for anxiety, mood disorders, and stress-related issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Giancarlo works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. He tailors interventions over time and involves clients in decisions about their care so the work fits their life and priorities.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - which can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access licensed professionals from different locations. These options support consistent progress while accommodating varied communication styles and practical needs.
