Therapeutic Approaches for Online Relationship and Family Support

Monica Duncan uses several evidence-based approaches to support clients in online therapy. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an empathic, accepting environment where the client leads the work while the therapist offers support and reflection - this approach can help people build self-awareness and confidence in making changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors through practical techniques and skills training - it is often useful for managing anxiety, stress, and mood concerns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) addresses emotional patterns in relationships by helping partners or family members understand and respond to each other’s emotional needs, which can improve connection and intimacy.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Monica will work with each person to determine which methods best fit their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring to therapy, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different needs and lifestyles. For many people, these options make it easier to access regular support from licensed professionals and therapists while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
