About Monica

Monica Furgiuele is a licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and big life changes. She writes plainly and listens closely, aiming to make early conversations feel manageable for someone who is unsure where to begin. Monica builds a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through painful feelings and practical concerns.

She emphasizes simple, clear steps when anxiety or a major loss make everyday life harder.

Background and approach

Sessions are meant to help a person find small, usable ways to feel steadier and more in control. Her work also addresses compassion fatigue and issues like body image, communication problems, control concerns, and isolation. Monica brings attention to what matters most to each person, including questions about life purpose and meaning.

She supports people facing end-of-life decisions and hospice-related stress with practical guidance and emotional presence. Monica combines client-centered listening with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and existential ideas about choice and meaning. That mix is used to help clients notice unhelpful patterns, try different actions, and reflect on values that matter to them.

The goal is clearer thinking and more purposeful decisions in daily life. She has twelve years of professional experience and holds a California LMFT credential. Monica works with English-speaking clients in California who want straightforward, empathic help for life's challenges.

Online support

Therapy approaches you can use online

Existential Therapy helps people consider meaning, choice, and direction in life. It invites reflection about values and purpose when facing loss, life changes, or feelings of emptiness. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathic listening and building trust so clients can speak openly and find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and offers concrete experiments and skills to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss needs, goals, and preferences with each person and try ways of working that fit those priorities. This collaborative process means methods can be adjusted over time to match what helps most.

Online sessions can use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different days and needs. Video works well for fuller conversations and visual connection, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make scheduling easier and help people keep therapy going around work, caregiving, or travel.
