How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Monna commonly uses acceptance and commitment therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her work. Acceptance and commitment therapy helps people clarify what matters to them, accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and take small action steps toward chosen goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors together and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress.She also integrates mindfulness and attachment-based ideas to help with emotion regulation and relationship patterns. Mindfulness practices teach simple ways to notice reactions and reduce reactivity. Attachment-based work focuses on safety in the therapeutic relationship and improving communication habits learned in close relationships.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and recommend methods that fit. Sessions can be adjusted over time so techniques feel usable in everyday life.
