Her work also addresses trauma, grief, intimacy and relationship issues, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar disorder, and coping with life transitions.

Her practice operates in Florida and services are provided in English.

Combining practical techniques with flexible online care

Monya incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and motivational interviewing into her online practice. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms such as anxiety and depression, and it is helpful for stress management, mood concerns, and coping with life changes. Motivational interviewing emphasizes exploring ambivalence and building internal motivation, which can be especially useful for clients working through substance use, codependency, or other behavior change goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Monya works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts session pacing and techniques based on client feedback and progress so therapy feels practical and personally relevant.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which allows for more scheduling flexibility and access from different locations within Florida. Monya primarily schedules virtual appointments on Saturdays and can often accommodate weekday evenings after 5 PM EST, making it easier to fit therapy into busy routines.
