I’ve been taking to Monica for a few weeks and she’s great. She’s flexible and seems to be very understanding and provides some nice recourses to work on outside of live sessions.

More about Monica

  • 12 years' experience
  • Female
  • LMFT

I am a family and marriage counselor licensed in Indiana with over 10 years of experience working as a psychocounselor and life coach. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

We’re still getting an assessment of my history and what I’m looking for, and my reasons for therapy. But, so far, I really feel she’s hearing what I’m saying and understanding what it is that I’m looking for.

Reviewed June 2020

Monica is absolutely wonderful. After trying three other councilors without success, I finally met Monica. She was able to work with me and actually help me cope with my stress and anxiety. I just wish that I'd met her sooner!
