How CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online

Monique uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT offers practical exercises and simple experiments clients can try between sessions to reduce anxiety, lift mood, and manage anger.

She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify strengths and small steps that move a person toward their goals. This approach centers on what is working now and builds short-term, achievable plans for change, which can be especially useful for decision points and career or parenting concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Monique will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. She listens to what matters most and adapts strategies over time so sessions stay useful.

The therapist's profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, avoid travel, and keep workday breaks shorter. They can also let clients use quieter surroundings or opt for less bandwidth during check-ins, depending on what works best for them.
