Monica Torres, LPC

Online approaches that focus on attachment and action

Monica uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps people notice repeated reactions, understand why they happen, and try new ways of relating that feel safer and more connected. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small steps toward them even when emotions are difficult; it is useful for anxiety, low mood, and feeling stuck. Monica also draws from Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes a respectful, non-judgmental stance and helps people explore their own goals and strengths.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Monica will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and suggest methods to try. The plan can be adjusted over time based on what feels helpful and what leads to real changes in daily life.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skills practice. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, journaling-style work, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to maintain momentum between sessions.
