Approaches That Guide Online Therapy and Growth

Monica combines client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavior strategies to support change. Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person’s experience and building a trusting, collaborative relationship that helps individuals identify their own goals and values. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps people spot and adjust unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and improve day-to-day functioning. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and healthier communication, which can be especially useful for intense emotions and relationship challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Monica works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts strategies over time so therapy remains responsive and goal-focused.

Online therapy with Monica is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These remote options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life changes, reduce travel time, and allow clients to engage from locations that work best for them while working with licensed professionals and therapists trained in these approaches.
