About Monica

Monica Giuffre is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who aims to support people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and life transitions. She offers a calm, steady presence and focuses on helping clients feel heard and understood. Monica emphasizes practical steps and honest conversation over judgment.

Her tone in sessions is warm, approachable, and often grounded with a bit of gentle humor. Monica draws on several therapeutic approaches to guide her work.

Background and approach

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is part of her toolbox when people want to clarify values and build psychological flexibility. Attachment-Based Therapy informs how she looks at relationship patterns and emotional connection.

With five years of clinical experience, Monica combines practical skill with empathy. She works with concerns such as grief, self esteem, ADHD, communication problems, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and substance use. Her sessions are collaborative - she listens first, then helps shape a plan that fits each person’s goals.

Sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allows a range of ways to connect. Monica accepts international clients and conducts therapy in English. Cost varies with location and therapist availability and uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability after selecting the Start Therapy button.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Monica commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different actions to change how they feel. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small steps toward those values, even when feelings are hard.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at patterns in relationships and how early connections influence present behavior. That perspective can help when communication problems, commitment worries, or caregiving stress affect daily life. Monica works collaboratively with each person to decide which approaches fit best for their goals and preferences.r>
Online therapy here is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to maintain continuity when life gets disrupted. The variety of formats also allows different ways to process material - sometimes a live conversation is best, other times written check-ins work better.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
