Approaches for Online Care and Practical Support

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship in which the client leads the pace and focus of work; it helps people feel understood and supports exploration of values, identity, and personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical exercises and skills training - it is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping challenges. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that enhances a person’s own motivation for change and is particularly helpful for addictions and ambivalence about treatment.

Finding the best approach is part of the therapeutic process. Monya Holt works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts strategies over time as those needs evolve. This collaborative stance helps clients feel involved in planning their care.

Online therapy offers flexibility by allowing sessions by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, support access from different locations, and allow communication in formats that feel most comfortable for each person. Monya primarily offers virtual sessions on Saturdays and can often accommodate weekday evenings after 5 PM EST when needed.
