About Monica
Dr. Monica Dremann is a California psychologist who helps people managing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, addiction, and relationship concerns. She speaks plainly and aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable for someone worried and unsure.
She has worked in psychotherapy since 2008 and holds the credential CA Psychologist PSY27325. Over a decade of practice has given her experience with trauma, grief, intimacy concerns, parenting strain, and issues that affect caregivers and first responders.
Background and approach
Her style is interactive and practical. Sessions often combine straightforward problem-solving with attention to feelings and life history. She uses techniques that can change day-to-day behavior alongside conversations that help make sense of long-standing patterns.
Monica draws from cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thinking and change behavior. She also uses mindfulness exercises to build focus and calm. Psychodynamic ideas guide deeper discussion about how past events shape present reactions.
She aims to work collaboratively, matching methods to a person’s goals and pace. People who come for help can expect a mix of short-term tools and longer conversations, depending on what fits their needs and life context.
How her approaches work online
Dr. Dremann commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical changes in behavior. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and day-to-day coping problems. She also draws on mindfulness therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and improve focus.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through your goals and preferences and then try methods that fit your needs. That process is collaborative and can change as progress is made or as different issues come up.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets you have real-time conversation and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing, brief contact between sessions. These options help therapy fit into busy schedules and varied daily routines.
