How her approaches translate to online care

Dr. Monroe uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT often focuses on specific problems like anxiety, sleep disruption, or panic and teaches practical skills to change patterns.

She also uses mindfulness therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices. Mindfulness can help reduce reactivity to stress and improve sleep and focus over time.

Trauma-focused therapy is used when past events cause ongoing distress. That work moves at a pace the person can handle and combines grounding skills with processing strategies to reduce the hold of traumatic memories.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and daily life, then try methods that fit. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let the conversation feel like an in-person visit. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, coaching-style work, or practicing skills between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep progress going between sessions.
