Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Monique commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking action even when feelings are difficult, which can help with motivation and life transitions. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep discussions focused on each person's perspective and priorities. That approach emphasizes listening and collaboration so clients can decide which strategies feel right. Finding the best mix of techniques is part of the work together rather than a one-time decision.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a day that includes school, work, or caregiving. They may allow for shorter check-ins, appointments outside normal commute times, and fewer logistical steps to attend a session. Monique will help determine the approach and session rhythm that fit the client’s needs, goals, and schedule.
