Monica is wonderful, and truly helpful. She knows her field very well. I was doubtful in the effectiveness of remote therapy, I don't have those doubts now. I would recommend her to anyone of my family or friends. Thank you Monica for what you do, and how you do it.

As a therapist, I stress the importance of holistic wellness. I see each person as a whole and strive to assist my clients in setting goals to gain not only mental and emotional well being, but also to feel good physically and build a healthy lifestyle that will continue to support their whole health. I also feel that therapy should be inviting, productive and even fun! My greatest pleasure is watching my clients grow by building coping skills, self-esteem, and self-love. I have an extensive background in Addictions and Trauma; and also in Depression, Anxiety and Panic Disorders, and Adjustment Disorders.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Aug 2023

Monica Hoyer is hands down the best therapist I’ve actually ever had. I’ve had many therapists & she really commits each session to listen and help me. She checks in and treats you like you’re a priority and it makes me feel like I actually matter instead of just venting to a friend and then going however long with whatever I’m feeling. I feel like there’s a sense of control with my issues and I’m finally becoming who I want to be.

J.E.·Mar 2022

Monica is incredible. I came to her at a very low point in my life, feeling like I was in a hole I would never climb out of. Through many months and phone calls, messages, and voice sessions, I can tell you that I'm on the other end of this, having learned coping skills and ways to manage my anxiety. I can see the world as beautiful again, and I did so without the need for medication. She has helped me grow so much as a person and has made SUCH a positive impact in my life. I give my absolute highest regards to her.

C.O.·Jan 2022

Monica is amazing. When we first met I was in a pretty dark place. Monica's support and guidance helped me find ways to properly manage my anxiety. I learned how to start loving myself and not be so hard on myself when things didn't go as expected. I've learned how to start trusting myself so I can take chances on new projects and new opportunities. She always offers new insights and perspectives. She constantly checks in with me to make sure everything is still going well, and if it's not she's always quick to offer a session withing the next day or 2 or even sometimes the same day. I highly recommend Monica. She truly goes above and beyond.

A.D.·Jan 2022

She is very understanding and thorough I've completely enjoyed her being my counselor!
