How Monika Uses Evidence-Based Techniques Online
Monika describes her work as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing everyday patterns. One common approach she uses helps people connect thoughts, feelings, and actions so they can spot unhelpful cycles and practice different responses; this is useful for anxiety, stress, and mood difficulties. Another emphasis is skills-based work for emotion regulation and coping, teaching concrete tools to manage overwhelming feelings and to handle triggers from trauma or loss.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Monika treats therapy as a collaboration and will help you test methods and adjust them based on your needs, goals, and what feels workable in daily life. Together you can decide whether to focus first on stress management, boundaries and codependency patterns, or trauma-related coping skills.

Monika aims to help clients use online sessions to practice skills between meetings and to apply what is learned to real-life situations.
