Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Monica Sosa frequently integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered therapy into her online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to improve mood and coping; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the person s experiences and goals guide the process, supporting growth and self-directed change.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills when helpful - DBT teaches practical strategies for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for intense emotions and relationship difficulties. Determining the best mix of approaches is a collaborative effort: the therapist and client work together to assess needs, try interventions, and adjust the plan based on progress and preferences.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video sessions, phone appointments, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules and to access licensed professionals from different locations within the same state. These options support consistent, ongoing work toward goals while accommodating varied communication styles and practical needs.
