Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Monica uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive environment where clients are invited to explore their values, goals, and personal strengths at their own pace; this approach helps with building self-awareness and improving relationships. She also incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical strategies to change behavior and reduce distress, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. When appropriate, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for strong emotions and relationship challenges.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process - Monica works with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. Online sessions allow that collaboration to happen from wherever the client is, using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels, support continuity of care across distances, and make it easier to integrate therapy into day-to-day life.
