How her approaches work in online therapy
Monica often uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness in online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing actions that keep problems going, which is useful for anxiety, anger, and sleep issues. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple awareness and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve emotional regulation during tense moments.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills when intense emotions or impulsivity are a concern. Those skills teach coping strategies, distress tolerance, and ways to improve emotional balance in the moment. Choice of approach is a collaborative decision - she and the client review goals, try a few methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face when they prefer visual connection. Phone sessions can fit into a brief break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins, quick coaching between meetings, and ongoing reminders of skills. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, and other commitments.
