About Monica
Monica Garnett is an LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) and LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with three years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, addictions, family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, depression, and life changes. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.
Monica uses a straightforward, collaborative style. She helps people notice patterns that cause pain and choose different responses. That might look like practicing breathing or grounding techniques, trying a new way to raise a difficult topic, or setting small doable goals between sessions.
Her approach draws on client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior ideas, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused methods. Monica tailors these methods into practical steps rather than long lectures. She focuses on skills you can use between sessions to manage emotions and improve daily functioning.
Monica’s background includes counseling people with addiction and emotional regulation challenges. She also has experience supporting clients through grief and trauma-related concerns. Her experience is described in direct terms: helping people manage urges, reduce overwhelming feelings, and improve communication patterns.

How sessions work
How Monica’s approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy centers the person’s own goals and experiences. Online sessions give time to talk about what matters most and to try small changes between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors; online work often includes short exercises and tools to practice during the week. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance, which can be taught in brief, actionable steps and practiced in daily life.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Monica will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice is reviewed as therapy progresses so strategies can change if something isn’t helping.
