Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Monica Rodriguez

Monica Rodriguez draws from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Narrative Therapy to tailor care to each person’s needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful, empathetic relationship that helps clients explore their values and goals while drawing on their own strengths to make changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be especially useful for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns. Narrative Therapy helps people reframe and re-author the stories they tell about their lives, creating new perspectives on past events and current challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Monica works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions may combine elements from different approaches as appropriate, with the client’s voice guiding the direction of care.

Online therapy with Monica is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for varied schedules and life demands. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from wherever is most convenient, and integrate therapy into everyday life with less disruption.
