Practical approaches you can use online
Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person and their priorities, so sessions focus on listening and shaping goals that matter to the client. This approach helps when someone wants empathetic support and a plan that feels personally right.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It involves trying small experiments and learning skills that reduce anxiety and improve everyday coping. That can be useful for stress, worry, and changing unhelpful habits.
Monica sees finding the right approach as a team effort. She will discuss options, try different techniques, and adjust plans based on what helps the person meet their goals. The process is collaborative and paced to what the client prefers.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging for flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and exercises, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat is useful for quick check-ins, and text messaging works for brief progress updates or prompts between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and maintain consistent contact with a licensed professional.
