How Monica uses evidence-based approaches in remote work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the client leads the topics and goals. It helps when someone needs to clarify values, feel heard, or try different ways of thinking about problems.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors with clear, practical exercises. It is often used for anxiety, depression, coping with life changes, and managing mood symptoms.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can be useful for strong emotional reactions, impulsivity, and relationship conflicts.
Finding the right approach is usually a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust techniques based on what helps the person most.
Confirm current session options before booking to know which formats are available. Practically, remote work can make scheduling easier and fit sessions into a busy week. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not feasible and remove travel time, which helps people fit therapy around work, school, or parenting responsibilities.
