How Monica's Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and decisions about meaningful change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and changing behaviors that keep problems going, which can help with depression, anxiety, and addictive behaviors.The right approach often becomes clear together. Monica works collaboratively to tailor methods to each person's goals and preferences. She checks in about what's helping and adjusts the plan as needed so sessions feel relevant and practical.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make counseling more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or messaging is useful for short check-ins, journal-style reflection, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep continuity between appointments.
