How her approaches translate to online work
Monica uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in ways that fit remote sessions. Client-centered therapy means the conversation centers on what matters to the client, with the therapist reflecting concerns and priorities. That approach helps when someone needs to talk through anger, relationship strain, or caregiver stress. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical behavioral changes. CBT helps with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and patterns that fuel anger and impulsivity.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Monica will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try first and adjust plans based on how things are going. She frames sessions around clear goals, short experiments, and skills practice to see what helps in daily life.
