About Monika

Monika Broecker, LMFT, helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, or depressed. She also supports people coping with relationship strain, grief, addiction concerns, and questions about intimacy and self-esteem. Her approach is practical and focused on small, manageable steps toward feeling better.

Monika uses a mix of somatic work and solution-focused techniques to help people notice how their body and thoughts affect each other. She draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time. Sessions often include short exercises, reflection, and steps to try between meetings.

She has 14 years of clinical experience and practices in California. Monika holds the LMFT credential and works with English and German speaking clients. She does not accept international clients at this time.

Her background includes study in somatic psychology and systemic approaches, and she emphasizes practical change rather than long theoretical discussions. People can expect a collaborative, down-to-earth conversation that connects feelings, behavior, and body responses.

Monika asks new clients to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to begin. After that, scheduling is arranged according to her availability and the service’s booking process.

This summary is based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp.

How her approaches translate to online work

Monika blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Somatic Therapy in an accessible way. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety or low mood. Somatic Therapy focuses on noticing body sensations and simple body-based exercises that can ease tension and support emotional regulation.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Monika works together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and day-to-day life. That collaboration shapes the plan and any at-home practices between sessions.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and allows practical check-ins between appointments. It can also let a therapist guide short breathing or movement exercises during a meeting and review how those felt afterward, which can help translate in-session learning into everyday routines.
