Mona aims to make each session practical and goal-oriented so people can see helpful changes between meetings.

How Mona’s approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely to the person's goals and adapting sessions to fit their needs. This approach helps when the priority is to be heard, understood, and guided toward self-directed change.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thinking patterns and daily behaviors that keep problems going. It involves noticing those patterns, trying new responses, and practicing small changes that reduce anxiety and lift mood.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Mona will work with each person to decide which methods feel most useful based on their goals and preferences. That collaborative process often begins with small experiments to see what helps in everyday life.
