How her approaches translate to online work
Mondie uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person’s priorities and build a trusting working relationship that guides the work. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people clarify what matters most to them.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT to help people notice patterns of thinking and behavior and try practical experiments that change how they feel. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress when concrete steps and skill practice are needed.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mondie collaborates with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. She adapts the plan as progress is made so that therapy stays relevant and doable.
