Approaches and Access for Online Therapy

Monica Rodriguez integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Narrative Therapy into her online practice. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful, empathetic relationship and helps clients explore their values and goals while feeling heard and supported; it can be helpful for issues like life transitions, relationship concerns, and self-confidence. CBT offers practical, skills-based strategies to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, often used for anxiety, panic, and mood concerns. Narrative Therapy helps people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their experiences, which can be useful for processing trauma, shifting identity-related struggles, and finding new meaning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Monica works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors techniques and pacing so the plan fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy with Monica is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving clients flexibility to choose what fits their schedule and communication style. These options make it easier to maintain consistent work with a licensed professional and to access support from different locations and life circumstances.
