How her approaches translate to online therapy
Monica often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters most and take small, values-driven steps toward change. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, which can help with anxiety, depression, and feeling disconnected.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which centers on listening, empathy, and respect. This approach helps clients feel heard and understood while they explore relationship and self-worth issues. Motivational Interviewing is used when people feel unsure about change; it helps uncover personal motivations and build commitment to specific goals.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Monica collaborates with each person to choose techniques that fit their goals, comfort level, and pace. Sessions adapt as needs change, and the plan is revisited together to make sure it stays useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different routines. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone calls can fit into short breaks, and chat or text options support quick check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and daily life.
