Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Monica DuShane
Monica draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to support people in online formats. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating an accepting environment where the individual leads the pace of change - it is useful for exploring identity, relationships, and personal values. CBT examines the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and address unhelpful patterns. DBT combines skills training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness and can be helpful for strong emotional reactions, relationship difficulties, and problems managing impulses.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Monica collaborates with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress and priorities evolve.
Online therapy with Monica is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, balance therapy with work and family responsibilities, and access consistent support from a licensed professional regardless of location within the therapist's service area.
