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!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Overall rating:
She has helped me more than she knows. She’s a perfect fit for me.
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.
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.
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!
