How Monica’s approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on active listening and supporting people to notice their own goals and strengths; it helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to talk about relationship stress or life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that can help with anger, intense emotions, and relationship conflicts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. This is a collaborative process where client feedback guides which tools are used and how sessions proceed.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find it simpler to try skill practice between sessions and then report back during the next meeting. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to an online setting to focus on problem solving, emotion regulation, and relationship skills.
