About Monika
She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and grief. Relationship concerns, LGBT issues, parenting struggles, and trauma or abuse are also part of her work. She supports people dealing with mood disorders, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue, and addresses problems tied to life transitions and identity.
Her approach draws on Client-Centered methods, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy, along with Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy. Sessions focus on the person in context - the individual and the systems around them - and treatment is tailored to each person’s needs. Those are used as tools to teach skills, shift patterns, and set small, realistic goals.
Monika also notes additional focus areas such as multicultural concerns, issues around non-monogamy and BDSM or kink culture, blended family challenges, and dealing with prejudice or isolation. She emphasizes collaboration and practical strategies over one-size-fits-all solutions. If someone wants a therapist who listens, offers clear techniques, and works toward steady change, her practice may be a fit.

How her approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the person's pace. The therapist offers a warm, accepting stance and helps people clarify what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress to build practical coping skills. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple exercises to reduce reactivity and improve focus; it can help with mood issues and stress regulation.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. That might mean starting with one approach and adding techniques from others as needs change.
The therapist's biography does not list which online session formats are offered, so confirm the current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Talk with the therapist about practical needs like scheduling, session length, and whether video or audio would work better for you, so sessions fit into everyday routines.
