Monica Krechman-Foreman

Applying Practical Approaches to Online Therapy

Monica integrates cognitive behavioral techniques and client-centered work to help clients address unhelpful thoughts and build clearer, goal-oriented habits. CBT offers structured ways to identify patterns that fuel anxiety or depression and to practice alternative responses, while client-centered methods prioritize empathetic listening and collaborative goal setting to ensure treatment aligns with what matters most to the individual.

She also uses mindfulness practices to help people develop present-moment awareness and stress reduction skills, and solution-focused strategies to identify strengths and small, actionable steps toward change. Together these approaches give clients a mix of short-term problem solving and long-term emotional regulation skills, adaptable to a range of life concerns from mood disorders to relationship challenges.

Finding the right mix of techniques is a collaborative process; the therapist works with each client to determine what fits their needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. Online formats - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - provide flexibility for scheduling, allow continuity of care during busy or transitional periods, and make it easier to engage in regular sessions without geographic constraints.
