Her style is interactive and grounded, with a focus on small, manageable changes that fit a person's day-to-day life. Monica has five years of professional experience as an LPC in Texas. She provides services in English and is available to international clients as well.
Sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values. This approach can help with anxiety, stress, and motivation when life feels overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday problems. Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes safety and understanding in relationships and can help people who struggle with trust, closeness, or communication.Finding the right approach is collaborative. Monica works with each person to see which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She will try practical techniques, get feedback, and adjust the plan so it feels useful and manageable.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different situations. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to check in during a busy day or keep therapy brief and focused. These options provide flexibility for scheduling and for choosing how to engage in therapy.
