How Monica uses therapeutic approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings while still moving toward what matters to them; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and questions of life purpose. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and supporting a person's own pace of change; this approach suits those needing support to rebuild self-esteem and trust. Motivational Interviewing uses reflective conversation to strengthen a person’s own reasons for making change and can help with commitment issues and caregiving stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Monica will talk with each client about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those goals. The process is collaborative, with adjustments made as new information and results appear.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or a lower-bandwidth option. Chat and text work well for brief updates, homework check-ins, or when written reflection feels easier. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between meetings.
