Approaches for Online Care and How They Help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on identifying what matters most and taking small steps toward those values, which can help with anger, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking patterns and build new coping skills for depression, anxiety, and addiction. Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and gentle attention to sensations and emotions, which can reduce reactivity and improve self-regulation.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Monica will work with each person to compare methods, try exercises, and adjust based on what helps most. Goals, personal preferences, and daily routines all shape which techniques are emphasized during sessions.

Confirm current online session options before booking to know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit care into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing sessions during breaks or evenings. It also lets people practice skills between meetings and bring real-life situations into conversation so strategies can be tailored to everyday challenges.
