Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Molly Giannotta integrates several evidence-informed approaches to tailor care to each person's needs. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns of connection and closeness formed in early relationships and helps people address difficulties with trust, intimacy and relationship cycles. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect and collaboration, focusing on the person's own goals and pace to build self-awareness and personal growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, often used for anxiety, stress and problem-solving.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is made collaboratively. Licensed professionals and therapists work with clients to assess needs, goals and preferences, then adjust techniques and pacing so the work fits the individual or family.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people juggling work, family or other commitments. These formats make it easier to attend sessions from different locations, allow for quicker check-ins between appointments, and provide multiple ways to communicate so clients can choose what feels most accessible and effective for their situation.
