How Monique’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small committed steps toward those values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and making changes during life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through concrete exercises and practice between sessions. It often helps with depression, anxiety, and sleep or eating concerns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Monique collaborates with each person to see which methods match their goals and preferences. She blends client-centered listening with active techniques so the plan evolves as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls are used for in-depth conversations and skills practice, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging options help with short check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These formats make therapy more flexible for people balancing work, parenting, or travel.
