Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Monica integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating an empathetic, non-judgmental space where the therapist follows the client’s lead to explore values, goals, and emotional experience - it is well suited for people seeking support with identity, relationships, or personal growth. CBT is a structured approach that helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and practical problem-solving. DBT combines skills training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness, and can be helpful for managing intense emotions and improving relationships.

Finding the right approach is collaborative - Monica works with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. This partnership helps ensure therapy feels relevant and practical.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, manage care from home, or maintain continuity when life is in flux. These options allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent therapeutic support while accommodating different communication styles and logistical needs.
