Therapeutic approaches and online care
Monica Torres draws from several evidence-informed methods to tailor treatment to each person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes skills for managing intense emotions, reducing impulsive actions, and improving relationships, which can be helpful for mood instability and difficulties with regulation. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is a structured approach for processing distressing or traumatic memories and the symptoms that can follow traumatic experiences.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Monica works with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and she adjusts methods over time so the therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.
Online therapy with Monica is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. These options increase flexibility and allow people to connect from locations that work for them while maintaining continuity of care across changes in schedule or circumstances.
