Dr. Monica Dremann , CA Psychologist PSY27325

Dr. Monica Dremann is a licensed psychologist in California (CA Psychologist PSY27325) who brings an interactive, integrative approach to psychotherapy. She has offered psychotherapy on and off since 2008 while navigating life alongside her clients, and she works with people facing depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, parenting concerns, ADHD, and LGBTQ+ related issues.

Dr. Dremann draws from cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, and mindfulness approaches, often blending techniques to suit each person’s needs. She focuses on understanding current patterns of thought and behavior, exploring how past experiences influence present relationships, and cultivating mindful awareness to reduce distress and improve coping. Her practice emphasizes collaboration - matching therapeutic tools to the concerns a client brings and adjusting as progress unfolds.

She views engaging in therapy as an act of self-care that can be difficult at times but also deeply rewarding. Dr. Dremann aims to create a respectful, thoughtful space where clients can explore challenges, build skills, and work toward meaningful change. She looks forward to supporting clients wherever they decide to begin.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Dr. Monica Dremann uses several complementary approaches to support clients in an online setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors - it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and problematic behaviors. Psychodynamic therapy explores how past relationships and experiences influence current patterns, helping clients gain insight into recurring difficulties in relationships and emotional responses. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and practical techniques to reduce reactivity and improve coping with stress and intense emotions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Dremann works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the plan as therapy progresses. This collaborative stance helps ensure the work feels relevant and manageable.

Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and maintain continuity of care. These options offer flexibility in scheduling, allow access to licensed professionals from different locations within the same state, and make it possible to continue work even when in-person visits are not feasible.
