To find out how sessions are arranged and scheduled, prospective clients are asked to confirm current session options before booking.

Therapeutic approaches and what they offer online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps when someone needs space to be heard and to clarify their own goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and uses small experiments to change what isn’t working. CBT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and low mood. Existential Therapy invites questions about meaning, choice, and how someone wants to live in the face of uncertainty; it can help when life transitions or end-of-life concerns bring up big questions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Monica will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then try approaches that match. The process is collaborative: methods are adjusted as clients learn what helps most.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins during a break. It can also let people choose sessions that suit their energy level, such as talking through a problem or practicing a short skill between in-person commitments.
