About Monna
Her past work has included inpatient settings, both acute and residential, where she worked with people from many backgrounds and life stages. That experience informs how she responds to intense situations and crisis-related stress. She also works with issues tied to aging, attachment, and hospice and end-of-life counseling.
In session she focuses on listening, support, and teaching practical skills. She aims to help people notice what matters to them, manage overwhelming feelings, and make small changes that fit their daily life. Techniques come from approaches like acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness.

She draws on attachment-based and client-centered ways of working to improve communication and self-understanding. Sessions are meant to be straightforward and useful, with clear steps and gentle feedback.

Her background in inpatient care guides her when situations feel urgent or complicated. Prospective clients are encouraged to consider whether this practical, listening-first approach fits their needs before scheduling.

How therapy methods translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify personal values, and take action toward what matters. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and making life changes that feel meaningful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going, and it often includes practical exercises to try between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus during stressful moments.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, life situation, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods feel most useful, and the plan can change as needs evolve.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. That said, online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find virtual work helps maintain continuity during transitions or when medical or caregiving responsibilities make leaving home difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and mindfulness practices to remote sessions so clients can practice skills in real life between appointments.
