About Monika
Monika Sury is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with 12 years of experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, and self-esteem concerns. She works with people who feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve them and those who need practical tools to manage strong emotions and day-to-day pressure.
She offers straightforward, skills-focused work that looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. Sessions include talking through what triggers distress and practicing tools to reduce anxiety and lift mood. She helps people set boundaries and improve how they communicate when relationships feel tense.
Monika also pays attention to background issues that shape emotional life, such as abandonment, adoption and foster care experiences, attachment challenges, and caregiver stress. Other areas she addresses include body image, chronic illness and pain, codependency, and commitment or control issues.
Her style combines practical techniques with careful listening. That means concrete steps between sessions and space to name difficult feelings in the moment. The work aims to increase day-to-day functioning and reduce the grip of old patterns rather than promise quick fixes.
Sessions are offered in English and Hungarian, and she accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people choose the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule an initial session.
BHow sessions work
How evidence-based approaches fit into online sessions
Monika works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on real-world skills and patterns. One common approach she uses emphasizes identifying links between thoughts, emotions, and actions to reduce anxiety and improve mood. This method helps people spot triggers and try different responses in everyday situations.Another practical approach centers on boundary-setting and communication skills to ease relationship strain. It teaches brief, repeatable exercises people can use between sessions to change interaction habits and feel more in control of difficult conversations.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That means testing practical tools together and shifting focus when needed to find what fits the client’s needs and preferences.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins on a tight schedule, and let people use quiet, longer, or camera-off sessions depending on what suits them. These practical benefits help translate therapy tasks into everyday routines without promising a specific session type.
