Background and approach

With 30 years of professional experience as an LPC in Georgia, she supports people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, depression, and major life transitions. Her approach emphasizes tailoring treatment conversations and plans to the individual’s needs while honoring each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

She also addresses related concerns such as anger, self-esteem, career coaching, attachment and abandonment issues, caregiver stress, communication and control challenges, grief from divorce or separation, and the effects of post-traumatic stress. Dr.

Monroe integrates techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and mindfulness practices when those methods suit a client’s goals. Beginning therapy can require courage, and she aims to create a space that makes moving forward more manageable and goal-directed.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Work

Dr. Monroe commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy into online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, using structured exercises and skill practice to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, helping clients explore their values and make choices from a strengths-based perspective.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques when emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness are priorities; DBT teaches concrete coping skills that can be practiced between sessions. Selecting the right approach is collaborative: the therapist and client review goals, preferences, and responses to different methods and adjust the plan over time to find what helps most.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility for people with busy schedules or those who live farther from in-person services. These formats make it easier to practice skills in daily life, maintain continuity of care when circumstances change, and access licensed professionals from various locations.
