How sessions work
How her approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and family-related worry. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and focuses on repairing interpersonal trust and improving communication.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Monica will help figure out which methods fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
