How her approaches translate to online care
Monica draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people name their values and take small steps toward them. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and getting unstuck from patterns like avoidance.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships affect current worries and closeness. This work helps people understand patterns such as codependency and improve how they connect with others.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Monica will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then tailor techniques from these methods to fit the work together.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins that match a daily routine. Some approaches lend themselves to skill practice and in-the-moment coaching that translate well to remote sessions. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework so progress continues between meetings.
