About Monica

Dr. Monica Dremann is a California-licensed psychologist (CA Psychologist PSY27325) who blends evidence-based methods with an empathic, collaborative presence.

Background and approach

With about a decade of professional experience and a longer history of offering psychotherapy since 2008, she supports people navigating anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, relationship and intimacy difficulties, grief, parenting challenges, self-esteem struggles, compassion fatigue, and ADHD among other issues.

She also attends to life-stage and family dynamics such as blended family adjustment, caregiver stress, aging and geriatric concerns, and hospice or end-of-life issues. Her work is interactive and integrative, drawing primarily from cognitive behavioral techniques, psychodynamic understanding, and mindfulness practices to tailor treatment to each person's needs.

Dr. Dremann emphasizes a client-centered stance - listening closely, identifying practical steps, and using focused strategies to build coping skills and insight.

She frames therapy as an active process that can be challenging yet rewarding, aiming to help clients find clearer perspective and more effective ways to manage change. Interested individuals in California can begin the process by completing a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling sessions according to availability.

Approaches to Care and How Online Therapy Fits

Client-centered therapy places the person's experience at the center of sessions, emphasizing empathetic listening and collaboration so clients feel understood and supported while they explore goals and changes. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and building practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and address impulsivity or addiction-related behaviors. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and stress-reduction techniques that can help with anxiety, grief, and compassion fatigue.

Determining the right approach is a shared process. The therapist works with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then blends methods as appropriate so treatment is tailored rather than one-size-fits-all. This collaborative stance helps refine the plan as progress is made and circumstances evolve.

Online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, or health-related limitations. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care, access therapy from different locations within California, and choose the communication style that fits a client's daily routine while working with a licensed professional.
