Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Monica combines client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness techniques to offer practical and compassionate online support. Client-centered therapy emphasizes the client's perspective and strengths, creating a collaborative space to explore goals and build self-esteem and confidence. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and teaching concrete skills to manage anxiety, stress, and depressive symptoms. Mindfulness therapy helps people develop present-moment awareness and stress-reduction practices that can be useful for mood concerns, chronic pain, and coping with life transitions.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Monica works together with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative process allows adjustments over time so care remains aligned with what is most helpful.
Online therapy with a licensed professional offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to access support from home or on the go, accommodate different schedules, and maintain therapy during life changes while still working toward meaningful progress.
