She also uses mindfulness therapy to help people develop present-moment awareness and practical ways to manage anxiety, stress, and low mood. Additionally, Motivational Interviewing supports clients who are facing ambivalence or struggle with change by building motivation and clarifying personal goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Monica works collaboratively with each person to identify techniques that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts methods over time so therapy remains relevant and practical.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how and where sessions take place, allowing clients to choose video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging according to what suits their schedule and comfort. This range of options makes it easier to maintain continuity of care, balance therapy with everyday responsibilities, and access support from different locations with registered professionals and therapists who can meet individual needs.
