About Monica
Monica believes that each person is the expert of their own life story and that existing strengths can be mobilized to address difficult situations. She emphasizes that seeking change takes courage and that the early steps toward a more fulfilling life are meaningful. In sessions she aims to support and empower clients, helping them identify goals, develop coping skills, and strengthen self-worth while working at a pace that fits their needs.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Monica uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the person's goals and values guide the work - this approach helps with issues like low self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns. She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy, which emphasizes practical steps and strengths to achieve specific changes and can be effective for stress, motivation, and coping with everyday challenges. When past events are affecting current well-being, Monica incorporates Trauma-Focused Therapy techniques to address the impact of difficult experiences and to support healing and resilience.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Monica collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made. This collaborative stance helps ensure the work feels relevant and manageable.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility, allowing sessions to happen through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and engage with licensed professionals from locations across California and beyond.
