Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Monna Kendrick draws from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to guide online work in practical, accessible ways. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and building alternative skills to manage symptoms of depression, anxiety, panic, and mood concerns. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) emphasizes values-based action and learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful steps forward, which can help with stress, grief, and life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Monna collaborates with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting strategies over time so the work feels relevant and manageable. This collaborative stance helps ensure interventions match what the client hopes to achieve.

Online sessions using video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging make scheduling more flexible and allow engagement from home or work. These options can make it easier to attend regularly, maintain continuity of care during life changes, and access licensed professionals with relevant expertise when in-person visits are not practical.
