Monica often works with concerns such as grief, anger, intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, sleep problems, and substance use. She also supports people dealing with mood disorders, bipolar concerns, ADHD, panic, and self-harm thoughts.
Additional focus areas include attachment issues, family of origin problems, shame, loneliness, and life purpose questions. Her approach is warm and interactive. Monica avoids stigmatizing labels and adapts conversations and plans to each person's situation.
She encourages steady steps toward change and offers straightforward skills alongside deeper emotional work.

Online support
Emotion-focused and attachment work online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on helping people identify and name their feelings, then shift patterns that keep them stuck. It can be useful for people who want to change how they react in close relationships and better understand their emotional responses.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds influence current ways of relating. Working on attachment patterns can help with intimacy-related issues, loneliness, trust, and family of origin concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety, manage moods, and improve daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Monica will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then shape sessions collaboratively. That means trying techniques, checking how they feel, and adjusting the plan as needed.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video is good for deeper conversations and reading body language. Phone can fit a short check-in or when bandwidth is limited. Chat and messaging support ongoing contact, quick check-ins, and brief skill practice between calls. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and daily life.
