Approaches That Guide Online Care

Monica commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Narrative Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening carefully to the client, honoring their perspective, and building on existing strengths to support growth and decision making. This approach is helpful for people coping with life transitions, relationship concerns, or emotional overwhelm.

CBT helps clients identify and change unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior. It offers practical tools for managing symptoms like anxiety, panic, and low mood by teaching strategies to respond differently to challenging thoughts and situations.

Narrative Therapy invites clients to examine the stories they tell about themselves and to consider alternative interpretations that reduce shame or stuckness. It can be especially useful for processing trauma and reshaping identity after difficult experiences.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Monica works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Licensed professionals and therapists often combine techniques to tailor care to the individual.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to continue care from different locations. These formats can increase access for people balancing work, family, mobility concerns, or other commitments while maintaining a consistent therapeutic relationship.
