How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Monique uses person-centered care and a strengths-based approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and self-esteem concerns. Person-centered care focuses on listening closely and shaping sessions around what matters most to the person. It helps when someone needs a space to be heard and then plan small, concrete changes.A strengths-based approach looks for existing skills and resources and builds on them. This can help with motivation and practical problem solving, such as managing anger or reducing social anxiety through step-by-step practice and reflection.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust as progress is made. Clients can expect goal setting, regular check-ins, and practical tools to use between sessions.
Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online care helps fit therapy into a busy week and makes it easier to attend evening or weekend appointments. Online work can also simplify shorter check-ins or allow sessions without needing travel, which often helps keep momentum between meetings.
