Background and approach
Her additional work includes issues like codependency, attachment concerns, impulsivity, and feeling isolated or empty. Monica aims to give practical tools and straightforward guidance. Sessions often include goal setting, behavior strategies, and skill practice so people can try new ways of coping between meetings.
She balances direct feedback with calm support. Her approach uses methods that help people notice unhelpful thoughts, build useful habits, and act according to their values. She also draws on motivational methods to help people find reasons to change and keep progress moving.
Mindfulness techniques are used to reduce reactivity and improve focus. People who prefer clear direction and concrete steps tend to find her style comfortable. Monica wants to guide clients toward small, manageable changes that add up over time.
She emphasizes realistic plans rather than quick fixes.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and decide what matters most to them. It focuses on taking small steps toward values-based goals and is often useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises to change patterns that maintain problems like low mood, worry, or impulsive behavior.
Monica treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Collaborating on the plan keeps work focused and meaningful.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video is helpful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone can be a lower-bandwidth option, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These formats make it easier to work on skills and stick to weekly plans without extensive travel.
