Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Monya Holt draws from client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to guide her online work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy and respect, allowing clients to lead conversations while the therapist provides support and reflection - this approach helps with building self-awareness, self-esteem, and stronger relationships. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior and developing practical skills to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors.

Monya also uses motivational interviewing techniques to help clients clarify their own reasons for change and strengthen commitment. These approaches are applied collaboratively - Monya works with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and preferences. Monya primarily schedules virtual appointments on Saturdays and can often accommodate weekday evenings after 5 PM EST by request, making it easier to access ongoing support without major disruptions to daily life.
