About Monica

Monica Jones is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with 10 years of clinical experience. She focuses on everyday strains such as stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, depression, and parenting concerns. Her practice also addresses grief, anger, bipolar issues, and life changes that can make day-to-day life harder.

Monica works from the view that each person knows their own story. She treats clients as partners who bring strengths and history into every session. Conversations are direct and practical, and she helps people break problems into manageable steps. Sessions aim to build clearer routines, better coping, and stronger decision-making skills.

Her approach draws on a mix of methods including cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance-based tools. Monica helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts and then experiment with different responses. She also uses attachment-informed ideas to look at how past relationships shape present reactions.

People who come for parenting stress or family of origin issues will find focused, down-to-earth discussion about boundary setting, communication, and problem-solving. Monica pays attention to how caregiving roles and family expectations affect mood and behavior.

She speaks English and practices in Louisiana. The first visit reviews immediate concerns and practical steps to try at home. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.

How sessions work

How Monica's approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It often uses short exercises to clarify values and to try small, value-driven actions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses practical experiments and skill practice to shift unhelpful patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationship patterns affect current reactions and helps people try different ways of relating in the present.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Monica will discuss your goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods to try first. That collaborative process helps shape session focus and homework in ways that fit daily life.

Session formats are not listed in the profile, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or school by removing travel time. They also allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid the need to travel to an office on busy days. Licensed professionals can adjust pace and exercises to suit what works for each person.
