More about Monica

  • 19 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

As a licensed therapist in Texas, I bring 19 years of dedicated experience supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients navigate challenging life transitions, emotional struggles, and personal growth. I specialize in addressing depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship dynamics, with a compassionate approach that honors each person's unique journey.

My therapeutic work focuses on empowering individuals to develop deeper self-understanding, improve communication skills, and cultivate resilience. I'm particularly passionate about supporting clients through issues like social anxiety, life purpose exploration, self-esteem challenges, and interpersonal conflicts.

I believe in creating a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their experiences, heal from past wounds, and develop meaningful strategies for personal transformation. My approach is collaborative, drawing from evidence-based practices to help you move toward greater emotional well-being and authentic living.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
