About Monica

Monica Garnett uses a client-centered approach to help people find practical ways to feel steadier and more in control. She blends that focus with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other tools to help people reduce anxiety, manage stress, and cope with life changes. Monica is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, LCPC, and also holds an LPC credential.

She keeps sessions straightforward and collaborative. Monica listens first, then helps people identify small concrete steps they can try between meetings.

Background and approach

That can mean practicing new ways to handle strong emotions, trying different communication techniques, or setting short-term goals to rebuild routine and confidence. Her background includes work across a range of concerns such as depression, grief, trauma and abuse, addiction, compassion fatigue, anger, and relationship or intimacy-related issues.

Monica draws on Motivational Interviewing to support people who want change but feel unsure how to begin. Monica has three years of professional counseling experience and offers help through multiple session formats, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. She works with people who prefer remote care and accepts international clients.

Sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. People who reach out start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that works for them. Monica focuses on practical strategies and steady progress, tailoring each plan to the person’s goals and day-to-day life.

Online support

How Monica Uses Talk Therapy Online

Monica commonly draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people find their own solutions; it helps when someone needs a supportive space to sort feelings and make choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical strategies to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful reactions.

She also uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy when needed to teach emotion regulation and coping skills, and Motivational Interviewing to support people who feel stuck about making changes. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Monica works with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and the problems they bring to sessions rather than using one fixed style.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people work face-to-face without commuting, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suit brief check-ins or times when typing feels easier than talking. These options offer flexibility for scheduling, quick follow-ups between sessions, and different ways to practice skills depending on what feels most helpful.
