How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Monya commonly blends client-centered work with motivational interviewing to support change. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, reflecting, and following the client’s lead so sessions stay relevant to what matters most. Motivational interviewing helps people clarify their reasons for change and build confidence to take steps toward recovery and healthier habits.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. CBT techniques often break problems into manageable steps and give practical tools to use between sessions. Together these approaches help when addressing stress, anxiety, addiction, or relationship concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaboration. The therapist will work with each person to pick methods that match their goals, comfort, and daily life. That plan can shift as progress is made or new priorities arise.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or school schedules, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time to appointments.
