More about me

Licensing: LMFT Years in Practice: 7 State: California

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.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

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.

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.

C.M.·Oct 14, 2019

Overall

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 :')
