Therapeutic approaches and online care

Monique often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters most and take small actions toward those values. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking that worsen distress and to teach practical skills for changing those patterns. CBT is useful for stress, anxiety, low mood, and problems that respond to structured skill-building.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Monique works with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and daily life. Together they try strategies, check what works, and adjust the plan over time.

Session logistics and formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to continue care during moves or life transitions. Ask about available session formats when you begin the matching questionnaire so you can pick what fits your routine.
