How Monica's Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy puts the client's goals and experience at the center of sessions. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients clarify what matters most to them. This approach is useful for people who want a respectful, paced space to sort through changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It often includes practical homework and step-by-step problem solving, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress-related challenges.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. It teaches techniques for distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and clearer communication when feelings run high.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying different tools from these approaches and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

For practical matters, confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or school by removing travel time. It also allows therapists to assign short, focused exercises between meetings so new skills can be practiced in everyday life.
