How her approaches translate to online work
Monique commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and collaboration, helping people name what matters and choose goals that fit their life. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, addiction, and stress.Finding the right approach is something she will do together with each person. She assesses needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts methods over time so sessions feel useful and relevant. That collaboration means approaches can shift from conversational work to skills practice as needed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also supports using exercises and worksheets during the session so skills can be practiced between meetings.
