About Monje
Her style is collaborative and straightforward. Monje listens first, then offers tools drawn from approaches like cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance strategies, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. She emphasizes building skills people can use between sessions to reduce overwhelm and improve coping.
Monje trained at Long Island University, earning a Master’s degree in Counseling and Development, and also holds a School Counseling certification. Her background includes roles as a clinician, school counselor, school administrator, foster parent trainer, and parenting skills instructor. Those varied roles shape a wide view of family and educational systems.
In sessions she blends person-centered listening with practical, goal-focused work. Therapy often mixes exploring patterns that keep problems going with concrete behavior changes. She helps people strengthen relationships, address attachment or abandonment concerns, and manage symptoms of ADHD, anxiety, or depression.

How her approaches translate to online work
Monje commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when helping people manage distress. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action even when feelings are difficult, which can help with grief, separation, and meaning after change. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those aims. If a strategy isn’t helping, she adjusts the plan together with the client so sessions stay focused and useful.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people practice skills in the settings where problems happen and brings therapeutic tools directly into everyday routines. Licensed professionals can tailor pacing and techniques to match what each person needs.
