Online support options
Practical approaches online: CBT and solution-focused care
Monique uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns in thinking that contribute to distress and to teach skills for changing those patterns. CBT helps with anxiety, depression, managing mood swings, and everyday stress by breaking problems into manageable steps and testing new behaviors.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, short-term goals and to build on existing strengths. This approach looks for what works now and helps people try small, practical changes that create momentum toward their goals.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative planning may combine CBT exercises with solution-focused tasks so sessions stay relevant and effective.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face-to-face when interaction and nonverbal cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Chat and messaging allow ongoing support and quick check-ins between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, caregiving schedule, or while traveling.
