Online support
Practical approaches for online therapy and goal work
Monica uses client-centered techniques that focus on the person’s strengths and priorities. This means conversations center on what matters most to the client and on building motivation to try new actions. It is useful for anyone wanting to clarify goals, boost self-esteem, or find personal direction.She also draws on cognitive behavioral ideas that look at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Those methods help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and produce practical behavior changes for anxiety, anger, and stress management. Solution-focused therapy is part of her toolbox too, offering brief, stepwise plans to reach specific goals faster.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapy process. Monica works together with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and life situation. She adjusts plans as progress is made so the work stays relevant and doable.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video works well for in-depth conversations, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging suit quick check-ins or brief coaching between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving duties, or other busy schedules.
