About Monica

Monica Giuffre is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, grief, and major life transitions.

Background and approach

She combines practical therapeutic tools with a compassionate presence to support clients navigating relationships, self-esteem concerns, ADHD, trauma and abuse, and a range of related issues. Monica brings five years of clinical experience and centers her work on collaboration and respect for each person’s lived experience.

Her approach blends structured techniques with a warm, client-centered stance, drawing on methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Attachment-Based Therapy to address thinking patterns, values, and relational dynamics.

Monica aims to create a steady, nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore emotions, build coping skills, and experiment with new ways of responding to life’s challenges. She values honesty, creativity, and gentle accountability while tailoring strategies to meet individual goals and circumstances.

Online approaches that balance skills and relationship

Monica often integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) when working online. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress by building concrete coping strategies. ACT emphasizes values-based action and accepting difficult thoughts and feelings rather than fighting them, which can support people facing grief, chronic pain, or life transitions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Monica works alongside clients to explore which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life context, adjusting techniques over time to match progress and shifting needs rather than prescribing one fixed path.

Practical benefits of online therapy include flexible scheduling and a variety of communication styles to suit different needs. Sessions are available by video call or phone for real-time conversation, and live chat or text-based messaging offers shorter, more frequent check-ins or support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to access consistent care while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
