How Monica’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take small actions that fit those values. It can ease stuck patterns and guide choices during life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and grounding practices to manage overwhelm and stay present.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Monica treats this as a collaborative exploration. She will talk with each person about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust techniques based on what feels most helpful over time.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are determined by the therapist and the site. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, let people check in without a long commute, and support consistent practice between sessions. It can also allow for shorter or more focused check-ins when schedules are tight. Monica aims to apply ACT, CBT, and mindfulness in ways that fit each person’s daily life and needs.
