About Monica
Monica Furgiuele is a licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and life transitions.
Background and approach
With 12 years of professional experience, she guides clients through challenges such as low self-esteem, motivation struggles, compassion fatigue, and isolation, offering steady support while clients explore what they want to change. Her style emphasizes an open, nonjudgmental atmosphere where feelings and thoughts can be voiced and examined.
Monica blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered listening and existential reflection to help clients identify unhelpful patterns, clarify values, and develop practical coping strategies. She also addresses related issues like body image, communication problems, control concerns, social anxiety, and hospice and end-of-life counseling.
Located in California and practicing as an LMFT, Monica helps clients take the initial courageous step toward greater well-being and life meaning. She works collaboratively to set goals and adapt approaches to each person’s needs, supporting steady progress toward more satisfying daily living and relationships.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Monica uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients recognize and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, and social fears. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize a supportive, empathic relationship where clients’ perspectives and goals guide the work, especially when addressing grief, self-esteem, or life transitions.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Monica treats that as a collaborative conversation. She will explore a person’s needs, values, and goals to decide which methods to emphasize and will adjust tactics as therapy progresses so the plan stays aligned with what the client finds most helpful.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care around busy lives, travel, or limited local options, while allowing therapists and clients to focus on practical strategies and personal meaning within regular meeting times.
