Hello! My name is Monica and I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Virginia. I have over 6 years of experience in the mental health profession. I have worked in a variety of settings to include, residential, outpatient, career, and addictions counseling. Although I have experience working with a wide variety of clients with a broad spectrum of clinical issues I have the most experience working with women who struggle with depression, anxiety, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), family/relationship concerns, life transitions, and substance abuse issues.
I am a graduate of Capella University in Minneapolis, MN. I have a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I provide a client-focused, culturally competent approach to counseling with a primary treatment modality grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). CBT's primary focus is on thinking patterns. Simply stated, I believe we can manage our emotions and behaviors, by changing the way we think about our situations.
I would describe my style as warm and supportive, yet, strong and direct. I am ready to assist you overcome any obstacle life sets before you.

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.
