About Monica

Monica Jha is an LPC practicing in Tennessee who focuses on helping adults find clarity and momentum when life feels overwhelming.

Background and approach

With nine years of clinical experience, she supports people managing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, addiction issues, self-esteem struggles, and the emotional fallout of life transitions. Monica approaches each person with curiosity and compassion, aiming to uncover underlying patterns that contribute to distress and to build practical skills for day-to-day change.

Her work blends cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness and acceptance-based practices, and she incorporates trauma-focused strategies when needed. Monica describes her style as integrative and whole-person oriented, addressing thoughts, emotions, and behavioral habits rather than only surface symptoms.

She offers online care across Tennessee and uses a mix of tools tailored to each client's preferences and goals, supporting growth in areas such as intimacy, career direction, parenting challenges, and coping with impulsivity or codependency.

Monica emphasizes collaboration and emotional clarity, guiding clients to reconnect with values and to develop more effective ways of responding to stressful situations. Prospective clients can expect a practical, compassionate partner who helps translate insight into sustainable change.

How Monica's Approaches Translate to Online Therapy



Monica commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and developing practical strategies to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and difficulties in relationships. ACT emphasizes values-based action and present-moment acceptance, supporting clients who struggle with avoidance, stress, or feeling stuck by helping them pursue meaningful goals despite discomfort.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Monica partners with clients to assess their needs and preferences, experimenting with techniques and adjusting the plan so treatment fits each person’s goals and daily life. This collaborative stance helps tailor interventions whether someone needs skills training, trauma-focused support, or tools for emotional regulation.

Online therapy offers flexible access to these methods through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access consistent care across different locations within Tennessee. The therapist and client work together to choose the formats and pacing that best support progress and comfort.
