Approaches in Online Therapy and What They Offer

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take committed actions even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. ACT can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions by focusing on meaningful goals rather than symptom elimination. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and creating a supportive therapeutic relationship so clients feel heard and empowered to explore their own solutions; this approach is especially helpful for building self-esteem and navigating grief. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing more balanced beliefs, providing practical strategies for managing depression, anxiety, and everyday coping skills.

Finding the right fit is part of the process, and Monica collaborates with clients to determine which approach or combination of approaches aligns best with their needs, goals, and preferences. She works together with clients to adapt techniques and pace so the work feels useful and relevant.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from home, during work breaks, or while managing family responsibilities, and they support ongoing progress through methods that suit each person’s schedule and comfort level.
