About Monica

Monica Jones is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana who brings a decade of clinical experience to work with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, low self-esteem, and major life transitions.

Background and approach

She helps clients navigate complex concerns such as trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, anger, career struggles, and mood instability including bipolar-related issues. Her practice also addresses related patterns like attachment and abandonment wounds, body image and eating concerns, caregiver stress, domestic violence, and family-of-origin conflicts.

Monica approaches counseling from a strengths-focused perspective, emphasizing that each person knows their own story best while offering guidance and evidence-informed strategies. She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside acceptance-based and emotion-focused methods to help clients identify unhelpful patterns, clarify values, and build practical coping skills.

Monica aims to create a collaborative space where clients can take courageous first steps toward clearer goals, improved self-understanding, and more effective ways of managing life’s demands.

Approach-Focused Care for Online Therapy

Monica integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to guide online work. CBT helps people recognize and shift thought and behavior patterns that contribute to stress, anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors by teaching concrete coping skills and problem-solving strategies. ACT emphasizes values clarification and mindful acceptance, supporting clients who struggle with avoidance, low motivation, or ongoing emotional pain to pursue meaningful action despite difficult thoughts or feelings.

The choice of approach is treated as a collaborative decision. Monica works with each client to explore which methods align with their needs and goals, adjusting techniques over time so the process matches personal preferences and real-life challenges rather than following a fixed protocol.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility in how and when people access care. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and use brief check-ins or longer sessions depending on what the client finds most helpful.
