She also supports those coping with grief, anger, parenting challenges, and major life changes. Monica aims to meet people where they are and build on their strengths so they can move forward from difficult moments.
She keeps sessions straightforward and focused. Monica listens closely and works with each person to set practical goals.
Background and approach
She emphasizes small, doable steps that fit into real life rather than long lists of tasks. Her approach draws on several therapies to match what a person needs. Monica uses tools from cognitive behavioral work to shift unhelpful thinking patterns.
She also applies acceptance strategies to help people live by their values even when feelings are intense. Attachment ideas and emotionally focused methods guide conversations about relationships and painful patterns from the past. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s comfort level, with space for reflection and problem solving.
With ten years of experience, Monica has worked with a wide range of concerns from body image and caregiver stress to trauma and family-of-origin issues. She encourages people to notice their strengths and build skills that make daily life easier.
Monica offers session formats that include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their schedule and needs.
Therapeutic approaches for online support
Monica commonly blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy when working online. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while taking actions that match their values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Client-centered work focuses on listening closely and responding with empathy, creating space to explore problems like self-esteem, grief, and relationship patterns.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Monica will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggest strategies that fit their situation. She adjusts the method over time based on what is most helpful and what the person wants to try next.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people use visual cues for deeper conversations, phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is an issue, and chat or messaging can work for quick check-ins or when someone prefers written communication. These options help fit therapy into busy days and different routines.
