Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well to Online Care
Monica Torres integrates evidence-based approaches that can be effective in online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, emotions, and actions, helping clients identify unhelpful patterns and practice more supportive ways of thinking and coping. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) builds practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress, which can be especially helpful when anxiety, depression, or overwhelm feel hard to control. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured approach that helps people process distressing experiences and reduce the emotional pull of past events in a guided, step-by-step way.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Monica collaborates with clients to understand what they want from therapy and what feels most helpful, adjusting the pace and tools based on individual needs, goals, and preferences. The work is guided by the client’s strengths and lived experience, with an affirming, supportive tone throughout.
Online therapy also offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. This range of options can make it easier to fit support into a busy schedule, continue progress between sessions, and access care from a comfortable, familiar setting.
