More about Monica
- 23 years' experience

- LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Hawaii. I have been in the field of social services since 2000, starting in Los Angeles, California. I moved to Hawaii in 2006, resuming and growing in my professional career here. I have worked with clients of all ages and diverse backgrounds. My specialty is in co-parenting skill-building, and enhancing parenting skills for families that are struggling with their children's behaviors.
My therapy style is structured and direct. I do so with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I strive to make the best use of my time and yours - focusing on strengths, solutions, and sustainable progress. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, structural, and strategic therapies. You are the expert of your own family. We will create goals, and I will help you with taking the steps to get there. I am here to support and empower you to be the best parent(s) that you can be.
It takes courage to take these first steps toward change. I look forward to working with you to find harmony and fulfillment, and a renewed satisfaction as a parent.
For those of you that don’t want your families to overhear you – I can do lunchtime sessions while you’re at work! Find a private space, or sit in your car. Bring your lunch, and let’s talk!

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.
