Online support options
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Monica commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy when working with clients. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build healthier ways of relating.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the client’s experience and emphasizes empathy and acceptance. That approach helps people feel heard and understood while they set their own goals. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process; the therapist will discuss options, listen to priorities, and adjust methods to fit each person’s needs and goals.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual connection, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, and texting or live chat can support quick check-ins or when a shorter format fits a busy day. These options help people fit therapy into work, family life, or travel while keeping care consistent and accessible.
