How evidence-based techniques translate to online therapy
Monica uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing thoughts and behaviors and on processing strong emotional memories. Cognitive-style approaches involve identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns to reduce anxiety and improve coping. Techniques that address emotional processing help people work through grief and past reactions that keep problems active in daily life.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Monica will work with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, comfort level, and the issues they want to address. She adapts methods over time so sessions stay aligned with progress and changing needs.
Online therapy with her is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text sessions are useful for shorter check-ins, quick coping tools, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between sessions.
