About Monica
Monica Sosa is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related challenges. She practices in New Mexico and brings a calm, respectful style to sessions. Monica focuses on practical steps parents and adults can use right away.
Monica uses clear, down-to-earth language and adapts her approach to each person. She often draws on client-centered methods to listen and build goals together. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas are used to spot thinking patterns and try different behaviors.
Background and approach
She brings eight years of clinical experience and a background in family studies and social work. That training shapes how she talks about family conflict, parenting stress, grief, and mood concerns. Monica also works with people facing trauma, addictions, and anger issues.
In sessions she mixes tools from Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, mindfulness work, and motivational interviewing when useful. Those approaches can help with emotional regulation, trauma processing, and increasing motivation for change. Monica supports parents using positive and attachment-focused ideas to change everyday interactions with their children.
She aims to create doable strategies rather than abstract theory. The focus is on small, steady steps toward better routines and relationships. Parents and adults who want a practical, compassionate clinician will find her approach straightforward.
She invites people to take the next step when they feel ready and offers collaborative care to meet real-life needs.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, respect, and building goals together; it helps people clarify what matters and find steps that make sense in daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and offers simple exercises to try different responses to stress, anxiety, and mood problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships through practical, repeatable practices.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Monica will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and try methods that fit those priorities. She adapts techniques over time based on what is most helpful, so treatment stays practical and goal-oriented.
Online work is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and skill coaching, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text messages allow ongoing support between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and keep momentum between meetings.
