More about Ralph

  • 7 years' experience
  • Male
  • LMFT

My approach is friendly, relaxed, and motivational. Along with providing therapy for relationship complications and mental disorders, I am also a youth soccer coach where patience, understanding, and teamwork are must haves. I have worked with several folks with various diagnosis and have found success by applying a Cognitive Behavioral approach or at times a Rational Emotive Behavioral approach. Another strength of mine is trauma processing, where I apply Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I am light hearted and work hard to ensure good quality sessions, while maxing out the abilities of the folks who see me. I currently hold a Masters Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and undergraduate studies in Social Science. My experience ranges from crisis interventions, to dealing with critical diagnosis such as Schizophrenia, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), to working with sleep disturbances and anxiety disorders.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Ralph listens well and asks good questions, gently leading to answers, rather than dictating them. He offers positive advice and has been able to answer all the questions I have had so far.

I had such a hard time finding a therapist for myself, a person of color located and trained in California. Its been fantastic to have a flexibility in hours compared to my regular primary health care. I'm so pleased with the way all communication and tools have gone with Ralph Monroy. It is truly a relief to have someone that can listen and relate to my concerns. I would recommend him 1000% percent along with this platform. Flexible options are limited during the holidays. Thank you fir all of your service and help!

Ralph was so great to work with! He helped me through a really stressful time (wedding planning!) and also helped me understand my anxiety. He uses great tools and techniques to emphasize the things to remember. He really helped me reshape my thoughts which has lead to positive outcomes at work, at my wedding, and in my daily life. I’m feeling great and I know that I am better equipped to get through tough times.

Ralph is a persistent and caring therapist who isn’t afraid to tackle cases that other therapists on this website won’t take. I’m very grateful for him.

I’ve had a very positive experience with Mr. Montoya. He’s has a kind, open, and light hearted approach to problem solving. He’s very easy and comfortable to talk to.

Ralph is very patient and understanding, easy to talk to as well. He is helping me work through anxiety, depression and stress related to familial trauma and PTSD.

Reviewed November 2019

I've churned through six counselors in the past and I've found Ralph to be the most understanding. He replies to my messages in the same day, always asked me how I was feeling and tailored the sessions towards that. But none of it comes to say how much better I feel after having the sessions with him. He gave therapy for six weeks and I went from low self esteem, constantly doubting myself to walking with my chest out, not looking for approval, waking up each morning to live life to the fullest. What a guy :')
