How Monica works
Monica pays attention to how past relationships shape current patterns and helps clients notice those connections. Her work includes practical tools for managing overwhelming feelings and unhelpful thoughts. She uses structured strategies when needed and also makes room for clients to tell their story.
Clients can expect a collaborative tone where goals are defined together and progress is checked along the way. Monica often addresses issues like self-esteem, body image concerns, commitment and control problems, and the stress of caregiving or chronic illness. She also supports people experiencing attachment-related struggles, abandonment concerns, or difficulties after divorce and separation.
The practice emphasizes realistic steps people can try between sessions. Therapy sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging for flexibility. Monica helps people pick approaches that match their needs and personal style.
Getting started begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to availability.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then move toward actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, chronic stress, and decisions about life direction.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify patterns of thinking that worsen mood or anxiety and teaches practical ways to test and change those thoughts. CBT often includes exercises to practice between sessions and is helpful for depression and anxiety.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Monica will work together with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative planning may combine techniques from different approaches and is revisited as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow for longer, interactive visits; phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is limited; live chat and text messaging work well for short check-ins or when typing out thoughts feels clearer. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or health needs while keeping treatment consistent and practical.
