Monica Furgiuele, LMFT

Monica Furgiuele is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and big life changes. She focuses on building confidence, improving self-esteem, and easing compassion fatigue so clients can move forward with more ease.

Monica creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about their thoughts and feelings. She aims to make the first steps feel manageable and to support each person through the process of change.

Her approach blends practical strategies with attentive listening. Monica uses elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and shift behavior. She also draws on client-centered techniques to follow each person’s pace and priorities.

Existential ideas inform her work when clients are sorting questions about meaning, purpose, or life direction. That helps when people feel stuck by uncertainty or facing major decisions.

Monica has twelve years of professional experience and holds an LMFT credential in California. She offers video, phone, live chat, and text-based sessions to fit different needs. The goal is to find realistic steps you can use between sessions to feel steadier and more capable.

Using CBT and Client-Centered Care Online

Monica commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered approaches in online sessions. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and stress. Client-centered work emphasizes listening closely and following the client's priorities to build trust and motivation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Monica will discuss your goals and preferences and adapt techniques that feel like a good fit. She collaborates with each person to test what helps and changes plans when needed.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets you use visual cues and longer conversations, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, tracking progress, or when writing out thoughts feels clearer. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other routines while using the approaches that match your needs.
