How Monica’s approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings and expectations. Online sessions can help people notice patterns in their relationships and try new ways of relating in daily life. Client-centered therapy emphasizes the person’s own goals and choices, with the therapist offering nonjudgmental listening and reflection to help clarify what matters most.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. In online sessions CBT tasks and brief behavioral experiments can be planned between meetings to practice in real situations.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Monica will work together with each person to pick methods that match their goals, comfort level, and the challenges they bring. She adapts pace and tools so people can try different ideas and see what helps.

Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, as options are set through the matching process. Many people find that online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduces travel time, and supports steady progress through regular check-ins and homework between meetings.
