How her approaches guide online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person's perspective and building on their strengths. It involves open listening, reflecting what matters to the client, and working at the client's pace to set meaningful goals.

Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, practical steps that move a person toward their goals. Sessions often identify what has worked before, clarify short-term targets, and try specific actions between meetings to build momentum.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Monica will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide whether to lean more on client-centered listening, solution-focused steps, or trauma-aware techniques to meet the client's needs.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Many people appreciate online work because it can fit into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and make it easier to attend regular check-ins. Online sessions can also be adapted for shorter check-ins or longer focused work depending on what the client and therapist agree will help most.
