About Monica

Monica Purvis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who brings 21 years of clinical experience to her practice in Georgia.

Background and approach

She focuses on supporting people facing stress, anxiety, grief, family and parenting concerns, anger and addictions, relationship and intimacy-related challenges, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and depression, as well as coping with life changes and compassion fatigue. Monica also works with issues such as ADHD, attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family dynamics, and other complex relational and emotional difficulties.

Her therapeutic style emphasizes practical coping strategies and collaborative problem solving. Monica uses evidence-informed approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address patterns of thinking and behavior, Client-Centered techniques to promote empathy and personal growth, and Trauma-Focused and Solution-Focused methods when navigating past harms or identifying concrete next steps.

In sessions she aims to help clients build resilience and discover skills that can be applied in everyday life. Monica’s background includes extensive work with children, adolescents, parents, and families, and she brings that experience into a range of presenting concerns.

She offers sessions in English and practices within Georgia as an LPC (GA LPC LPC010282).

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care



Monica commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop concrete behavioral strategies; this approach can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday challenges. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, offering a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients’ goals and perspectives guide the work and personal growth is encouraged. When past wounds are central to a person’s concerns she applies Trauma-Focused techniques to help process those experiences and reduce their ongoing impact.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Monica works with each person to explore which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts her approach over time based on what proves most helpful. The aim is to build practical tools and insights together rather than adhere rigidly to a single method.

Online sessions are available as video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are impractical, while allowing therapists and licensed professionals to work with clients from a distance using the approaches that best fit their concerns.
