Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work

Monique draws from attachment-based, client-centered, and cognitive behavioral approaches to tailor care to each person's needs. Attachment-based therapy focuses on the ways early relationships shape current patterns of relating and helps people build more secure connections and healthier interpersonal habits. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and collaboration so that clients feel heard and able to explore their goals at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress, offering practical strategies to manage symptoms related to anxiety, depression, and stress.

Determining the right approach is a collaborative process. Monique works with clients to identify their goals, preferences, and practical needs, and adjusts methods over time to find the best fit for treatment. This flexible attitude helps integrate skills-based work with deeper relational and self-exploration as appropriate.

Online therapy with a licensed professional can make engaging in this work more accessible. Video calls allow for face-to-face interaction, phone sessions offer convenience for busy days, and live chat or text-based messaging provide options for brief check-ins or when voice or video is not feasible. These formats support consistency and flexibility so clients can connect in ways that fit their schedules and lifestyles.
