Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches practical skills to change thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with everyday challenges.
Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented style that helps people explore ambivalence and build motivation for change. It can be useful for addressing addictions, readiness for treatment, and making life changes.
Trauma-Focused Therapy attends directly to the impact of traumatic experiences, combining techniques to process difficult memories and strengthen coping resources. This approach supports people working through abuse, accidents, or other traumatic events.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Monique works collaboratively with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and adapts methods over time so the plan fits the person rather than the other way around.
Online therapy offers flexibility to meet people where they are, using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access licensed professionals from different locations while keeping care consistent and focused on progress.
