How Monica’s approaches adapt to online work
Monica uses client-centered therapy to focus on each person's priorities, listening closely and shaping sessions around what matters most. This approach helps people clarify goals and feel heard while building trust at a comfortable pace.
She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behaviors and teaches practical skills to test new responses. CBT is useful for managing anxiety, stress, and self-esteem concerns. Existential therapy is another influence, helping people consider meaning, choice, and values when facing life changes or grief.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Monica will collaborate with each client to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She encourages ongoing conversation about what is and isn’t working so the plan can change over time.
