She also supports those working through family of origin issues and problems around intimacy or jealousy.
Monica has experience addressing neurodiverse and mood concerns such as ADHD and bipolar disorder alongside life transitions, career stress, and money worries. She includes trauma-focused tools like EMDR when post-traumatic stress or abuse histories are part of the picture. Her work aims to reduce distress and improve everyday functioning through clear techniques and relational repair.

How key approaches are used in online work
Attachment-based therapy looks at how past relationships affect current connection patterns and helps people rebuild trust and closeness. It can be useful for relationship strain, attachment wounds, and persistent loneliness.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It suits anxiety, panic, sleep problems, mood disorders, and many everyday struggles because it gives concrete skills to practice.
EMDR is a trauma-focused method that works with distressing memories and the emotions linked to them. It is used when post-traumatic stress or abuse histories are part of a person's difficulties and aims to reduce the emotional charge of traumatic memories.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That conversation can happen in the first few sessions and be adjusted as therapy progresses.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Discuss format and timing during the initial matching process to pick what fits daily life.
