Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Monica draws on evidence-based methods to guide online work in ways that are practical and goal oriented. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and uses values-driven actions to create meaningful change - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life transitions.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, empathic relationship where the therapist follows the client's lead to build self-understanding and confidence - this approach supports work on self-esteem, shame, and communication problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing concrete skills and behavioral changes to reduce depressive symptoms and anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Monica will work with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time as progress and priorities evolve. Licensed professionals and therapists often blend techniques to create a custom path forward.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or manage care from different locations. These options can increase accessibility and allow clients and therapists to focus on practical strategies and consistent support without major disruptions to daily life.
