Online support
How Monica Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online
Monica often draws from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and learn concrete skills to change reactions. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it focuses on practical steps and homework that build new habits. She also uses an attachment-based perspective to look at how early and current relationship patterns shape feelings and behavior. That approach helps when someone struggles with trust, abandonment worries, or recurring interpersonal conflicts. Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. Monica will talk with each person about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust as progress is made. She aims to involve clients in decisions about what techniques to try and how fast to move. Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people have longer, face-to-face conversations, while phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when hearing tone is more important than visuals. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skill practice between sessions, or when someone prefers writing over talking. These options support flexibility and consistent follow-through with therapy work.We will earn a commission if you sign up through our link, at no cost to you.
