Therapeutic Approaches for Online Relationship and Trauma Work

Monica draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns that keep them stuck. CBT focuses on changing thinking and behavior habits and can be particularly useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and breaking cycles related to addictive behaviors.

She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to address relationship and attachment concerns. EFT centers on understanding and reshaping emotional responses between partners or family members so connections feel safer and more responsive.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Monica collaborates with clients to select or combine methods based on their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds so the approach fits the person and the situation.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - which makes it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access licensed professionals from different locations. These options support consistent engagement and make it simpler to maintain momentum between sessions.
