Monika SuryLCSW

Monika Sury is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in California with 12 years of experience. She focuses on everyday struggles like anxiety, stress, grief, and relationship problems. She also helps people who face trauma, low self-esteem, and difficult patterns that keep repeating. Monika speaks English and Hungarian and accepts international clients.

Monika centers sessions on listening first and then teaching practical skills. She helps people notice how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Together she and the client work on tools to reduce anxiety, manage strong emotions, and handle stress in daily life.

Her style is compassionate and nonjudgmental. She emphasizes setting realistic boundaries and building self-compassion. The goal is to help people find balance and increase resilience step by step.

Monika also addresses specific life situations such as abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, attachment issues, and blended family stress. She supports those coping with chronic illness, caregiver strain, body image worries, and codependency patterns. Sessions aim to make manageable changes rather than immediate fixes.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Monika uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on the link between thoughts, emotions, and behavior. One common method helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and practice new ways of responding to stress and anxiety. This can help when worry or negative thinking gets in the way of daily life.

Another approach emphasizes building emotional skills like self-compassion, boundary setting, and coping strategies for strong feelings. This work often involves short exercises, role practice, and applying new skills between sessions to make change stick.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences and choose techniques that fit the person. That collaborative process helps tailor the work as progress is made.

Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people meet with a licensed professional who speaks English or Hungarian even if they live far from California.
