Therapeutic approaches for online support
Monique incorporates client-centered therapy, which prioritizes the person's own goals and perspectives and offers a supportive, non-directive atmosphere that helps with self-esteem, relationship concerns, and coping with life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns - it is often applied for anxiety, depression, stress, and sleep or eating difficulties. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on understanding and reshaping emotional responses within relationships, making it useful for couples work, attachment issues, and intimacy-related concerns.Finding the best therapeutic approach is part of the process; Monique collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative planning helps ensure therapy aligns with what matters most to the individual or family.
Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility and make it easier to fit care into busy schedules or across time zones. These options support continuity of care and allow licensed professionals and therapists to deliver consistent, goal-focused work while adapting to each person’s lifestyle and access needs.
