How Monique Uses Practical Approaches Online
Monique draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to ease symptoms like anxiety or depression. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, attainable goals and building on what already works to solve specific problems such as communication breakdowns or parenting stress.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work together with you to choose methods that match your goals, preferences, and the challenges you bring. That collaboration helps set clear checkpoints and realistic steps you can try between sessions.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper interaction. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in briefly, handle quick questions, or fit a session into a short break. These formats make it simpler to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, parenting, and other responsibilities.
