Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Monica often integrates client-centered therapy into her work, which focuses on the client’s own experience and priorities. This approach emphasizes empathy, active listening, and supporting self-discovery so clients can clarify values and make choices that feel right for them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - is used to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical skills and structured exercises. CBT can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, and addiction-related patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT - offers tools for regulating intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, making it a good fit for people managing strong emotional reactions or relationship challenges.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Monica works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts strategies as progress unfolds. That partnership helps ensure care is personalized and meaningful.
Online therapy with a licensed professional offers flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter or more frequent check-ins can happen via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to maintain continuity during life transitions, fit sessions into a busy schedule, and access consistent support from therapists without sacrificing the core therapeutic work.
