Online support options
Practical approaches for online emotional support
Monriel commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy along with mindfulness practices to guide online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep stress and low mood going, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to reduce intense reactions and improve communication.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. Treatment plans are adjusted over time based on what is most helpful and what a person prefers.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are helpful for fuller conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions can fit during work breaks or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging offer shorter check-ins and quick support between sessions. These options provide flexibility so people can access therapy around daily responsibilities and changing schedules.
