Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Support
Monica integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her online work to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing mood and anxiety. CBT is goal-oriented and often helps with stress, panic, depression, and many day-to-day challenges. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness - approaches that can be especially useful for intense emotions and relationship difficulties. Mindfulness-based strategies are woven into sessions to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, supporting calm and clearer decision-making in the face of stress.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Monica partners with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative approach allows adjustments over time so therapy stays relevant and effective for the individual.
Online therapy with a licensed professional offers flexibility and accessibility. Sessions can take place via video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into a busy schedule, manage caregiving responsibilities, or connect from different locations. These options allow therapists and clients to focus on meaningful progress while adapting to each person’s life circumstances.
