Therapeutic approaches and online care
Monica uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and healing from past wounds. One common approach she uses centers on listening and reflecting to help people make sense of traumatic experiences and reduce their hold on daily life. This method helps with post-traumatic stress, abandonment wounds, and intense emotional reactions.Another approach emphasizes goal-setting and behavioral steps to manage workplace stress, anxiety, and low mood. It breaks larger problems into concrete actions like communication practices, scheduling boundaries, and small experiments to shift patterns. This can be helpful for career concerns, compassion fatigue, and attention-related struggles.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which techniques fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. That process can change over time as priorities evolve and progress is made.
If you are considering online therapy, please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins during a work break, or remove the need to travel to an appointment. Discuss scheduling and format details when you start so sessions match your routine and goals.
