How Monica Uses Different Approaches Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them. It focuses on values and small committed actions so someone can keep living a meaningful life even when stress or illness is present.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of connecting with others. It can help people who struggle with trust, abandonment fears, or repeating unhelpful relationship patterns to try new ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Monica will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
