About Monika
Monika Sury is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California with 12 years of experience. She works with people who struggle with anxiety, stress, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, and self-esteem concerns. Sessions are conducted in English and Hungarian and she accepts international clients.
Monika focuses on helping people notice how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. She uses practical tools to manage anxiety and cope with stress. She also guides people who want to set clearer boundaries and improve how they relate to others.
Her approach is direct and hands-on. Sessions include talking through recent events, practicing new ways of responding, and learning small skills to try between meetings. She emphasizes building skills that can be used in everyday situations rather than abstract concepts.
Monika has experience with a wide range of related concerns such as abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, attachment difficulties, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family matters, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and codependency. She will help identify which areas are most relevant to each person and focus on manageable steps.
Practical matters are part of the work. Monika explains options clearly and uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. This lets her and the client see what to focus on from the start.
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Monika uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and behavior change. One approach emphasizes identifying patterns of thought and feeling, then testing small changes in how someone responds. This helps with anxiety, worry, and low mood by offering concrete practices to try between sessions.Another approach she draws on targets relationship and attachment patterns. It looks at how past experiences influence current interactions and offers ways to practice different responses. That kind of work can help with communication problems, commitment worries, and attachment issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Monika treats this as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that make sense for their situation, adjusting as needed over time.
Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy more easily into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Online work can make shorter check-ins and follow-up meetings simpler to arrange.
