Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Monique commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy in online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a trusting relationship and listening closely to what matters to the person. It helps when people need a supportive space to sort through feelings and goals. Cognitive-behavioral therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical tools to change those patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, ADHD-related struggles, and stress.

She also draws from dialectical behavior therapy ideas when emotional regulation and coping skills are the priority. Those techniques teach concrete ways to manage strong emotions, handle conflicts, and tolerate distress without making things worse. Choosing which approaches to use is a collaborative process; she will work with each person to match goals and preferences with the right mix of techniques.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different needs. Video lets people read facial cues and hold a longer session, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text work well for quick check-ins, short coaching-style support, or when written reflection helps. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy schedules.
