Approaches that guide online work and goal planning
Monique practices evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and personal strengths. One common approach is person-centered work, which centers conversations on each individual's needs and goals and helps people shape their own path forward. This method suits concerns like low self-esteem, life purpose, and navigating identity-related stress.She also emphasizes a strength-based approach that helps people recognize and build on what already works in their life. That approach encourages small, doable steps to shift mood and behavior, which can be useful for anxiety, social phobia, and depression.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Decisions about methods are made together, taking into account the client's needs, pace, and preferences.
Confirm current session formats before booking to know what is offered. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit into busy lives, for example by allowing evening or weekend appointments and reducing travel time. It can also let people choose sessions that match their comfort level, such as shorter check-ins or longer weekly sessions, so therapy adapts to everyday routines.
