More about Monica
- 10 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
As a licensed therapist in Arizona, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on empowering clients through challenges like depression, anxiety, trauma, and self-esteem issues. With a deep commitment to understanding each person's unique journey, I create a compassionate and affirming therapeutic space.
My approach honors the diverse experiences of individuals, particularly those in the LGBTQ+ community, young adults, and people of color. I focus on helping clients develop self-love, work through isolation, process grief, and heal from past experiences of discrimination or trauma. Drawing from evidence-based practices, I support clients in developing resilience, understanding their emotional patterns, and cultivating meaningful personal growth.
I believe in a collaborative therapeutic relationship where your experiences, strengths, and goals guide our work together. My goal is to provide supportive, culturally responsive care that helps you move toward healing and empowerment.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
