Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

Monique frequently combines client-centered care with cognitive-behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy skills to support clients in changing unhelpful patterns and managing strong emotions. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathic listening and creating a collaborative space where the client’s perspective guides the work, which is useful for building trust and exploring values. Cognitive-behavioral therapy offers structured techniques for identifying and shifting thought patterns that contribute to mood and anxiety problems, making it a practical option for symptom reduction and problem solving. Dialectical behavior therapy emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, helping people develop concrete tools for coping with intense feelings.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process; the therapist works collaboratively with each person to tailor methods based on individual goals, symptoms, and preferences rather than imposing a single model. This partnership helps determine whether more reflective, skills-based, or integrative work will best support progress.

Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to maintain continuity of care from different locations. These options can support consistent skill practice between sessions and allow licensed professionals to adapt formats to match a client’s communication style and life demands.
