About Monica
Dr. Monica Dremann is a California psychologist who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, parenting concerns, and LGBTQ issues. She brings ten years of clinical experience to sessions and aims to make therapy clear and practical for busy parents.
Her style is interactive and down-to-earth. Sessions are a chance to talk through immediate problems and try small, doable changes. She blends different methods so conversations focus on what helps right now.
Background and approach
Monica uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. She also draws on mindfulness to help clients manage intense feelings in the moment. Psychodynamic ideas are used when looking at longer patterns that affect relationships and parenting choices.
Therapy with her often involves concrete tools, short experiments between sessions, and regular check-ins on progress. She describes therapy as a gift clients give themselves - sometimes challenging but often leading to meaningful shifts. She holds the credential CA Psychologist PSY27325 and practices in California.
Sessions are offered in English and are adapted to fit parents' schedules and day-to-day demands. Monica welcomes conversations about practical goals and what a helpful next step would look like.

Therapeutic approaches that fit busy parents
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and meeting the person where they are. It creates space to talk without judgment and helps parents find their own solutions for stress and family demands. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change unhelpful routines.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. Sessions often combine techniques so clients can try a few ways of working and keep what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people juggling work, caregiving, and other tasks. Video calls let conversations feel close to an in-person visit. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits the day. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for quick reflections, brief coaching, or keeping progress between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent while managing a busy schedule.
