Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Francesca integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and a client-centered, humanistic approach to support people working through emotional and practical difficulties. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify links between thoughts, feelings and behaviors, and uses structured strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, panic, depression and unhelpful habits. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the quality of the relationship - empathy, acceptance and collaboration - and is especially helpful for building self-esteem, addressing relationship and intimacy concerns, and navigating identity or life-transition issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Francesca works collaboratively with each person to decide what fits best. She listens to a client’s goals, priorities and preferences, explains options in clear terms and adjusts techniques as progress unfolds, so treatment is tailored rather than fixed.

Online sessions can be delivered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or another convenient location, accommodate work and family commitments, and maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult. Francesca aims to match practical delivery to the therapeutic approach to support meaningful change.
