Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Internal Family Systems helps people map inner parts and understand how different feelings and impulses relate to one another; it can be useful for working with trauma responses, self-criticism, and complex internal conflicts. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and building psychological flexibility through acceptance and mindful action, which often supports anxiety, depression, and chronic stress. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns and early bonds to strengthen current relationships and address attachment injuries.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Monica will work with clients to match methods to their goals, preferences, and the specific challenges they bring, adjusting strategies as work unfolds to find what fits best.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to access care from home or work. These formats allow for consistent treatment around schedules and life demands, and they make it possible to continue therapy during transitions or when in-person visits are difficult.
