Therapeutic approaches for online care
Monica frequently uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on creating an empathic, respectful space where the therapist follows the client's lead to explore values, goals, and personal meaning. This approach helps with self-exploration, improving relationships, and navigating life transitions.She also employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical method that examines the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT helps people manage symptoms of anxiety and depression, address unhelpful thinking patterns, and develop concrete coping skills.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is another approach Monica may integrate, offering tools for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT techniques can be useful for handling intense emotions, improving communication, and reducing reactive behaviors.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Monica works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts strategies over time as progress and priorities evolve.
Online therapy with Monica is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexible options to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals and to continue work on skills and goals between sessions.
