About Monica
Monica Erk is an LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Indiana with 12 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, parenting, trauma and abuse, depression, and other everyday struggles adults face at home.
Monica uses several evidence-based approaches to help people who are feeling overwhelmed by life changes, parenting strain, grief, or tension with loved ones. She combines practical problem-solving with attention to how attachment and past family relationships shape current patterns. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with tools you can try between meetings.
Her background includes supporting people coping with addiction, bipolar disorder, ADHD, panic, and post-traumatic stress. She also works with issues like anger, self-esteem, isolation, and intimacy-related concerns. Monica draws on CBT, DBT skills, EMDR, EFT, and attachment-focused work to address symptom relief and relational dynamics.
In practice she helps clients notice unhelpful patterns, try small changes, and build skills for emotion regulation and communication. She also supports parents who are struggling with the daily demands of caregiving and with relationship strain that affects family life.
To start, Monica asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time; costs vary by location. She provides services in English and does not accept international clients.
How sessions work
How her approaches guide online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current ways of relating. It helps people notice patterns of closeness and distance and practice new ways of connecting or setting boundaries. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It offers straightforward tools to change unhelpful thinking and steadier daily routines. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can reduce intense reactions at home.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as specific options are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and avoid travel time. Licensed professionals can guide skill practice between meetings so progress carries into everyday life.
