About Monica
Monica uses clear, down-to-earth conversation in sessions and keeps things approachable. She adds warmth and occasional humor so tough topics feel easier to face. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use between meetings, not only ideas discussed in session.
Her work addresses stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and midlife crisis questions. She also pays attention to attachment, commitment, communication, control, and family of origin issues when those come up. Monica includes attention to shame, guilt, impulsivity, loneliness, life purpose, and multicultural concerns as part of a broader picture.
Monica draws from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Internal Family Systems to shape the work. That means she listens for what matters to each person, helps spot unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and explores internal parts that influence choices.
People who prefer a blend of practical skills and spiritual or holistic perspectives may find this style helpful. She encourages active collaboration so each person’s goals guide the pace and focus of therapy.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. The therapist creates a respectful, nonjudgmental space and helps people name their goals and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, and uses clear exercises and homework to build different habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for managing emotion, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Monica will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, values, and daily life. She adjusts pace and techniques based on what helps the person make steady progress.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, and allow quicker check-ins when needed. It can also let people practice skills in the settings where challenges happen and bring examples from daily life into sessions for immediate discussion.
