How these approaches work online and in sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings appear. It helps people move toward a meaningful life while accepting difficult emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior, teaching practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus during stressful moments.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Monica works together with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She may blend elements from different approaches as those conversations clarify what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let face-to-face conversation when more connection is helpful. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when a check-in fits a busy day. Live chat or text-based messaging can be a shorter, written way to track progress or share how a difficult moment went. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family life, and day-to-day routines while using the approaches described above.
