Background and approach
Sessions often focus on building coping skills, improving communication, and reducing overwhelming reactions. Monique uses straightforward tools drawn from cognitive behavioral work and mindfulness to help people feel steadier. Clients come with a wide range of concerns such as abandonment, attachment wounds, caregiver strain, and the emotional impact of serious illness.
She also supports people coping with isolation, guilt, impulsivity, and questions about life purpose. Monique pays attention to how past hurts shape current behavior and to practical patterns that maintain distress. Her approach blends acceptance with active problem solving.
She teaches skills to manage anxiety and strong emotions while encouraging self-compassion and clearer boundaries. Many sessions include simple exercises to use between meetings so change carries into everyday life. Monique aims to create a calm, focused space where people can practice new responses.
She works with adults who want concrete tools and steady support as they work through difficult emotions and rebuild a sense of control.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship so people feel heard and understood. It helps when someone needs space to process feelings and find their own solutions rather than being told what to do.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down distressing thoughts and behaviors into manageable steps. It teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and depression by changing unhelpful thinking and practicing new behaviors.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers tools for managing intense emotions and improving emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness. It can be useful for people who struggle with impulsivity, strong anger, or overwhelming mood shifts.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and needs. That choice can change over time as progress is made and priorities shift.
Online therapy using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes these approaches more flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice and role-play. Phone sessions can fit a shorter break at work or when bandwidth is limited. Text and chat offer quick check-ins and written reminders of skills between meetings. These options let people access consistent care without long commutes and better fit busy days.
