About Monica

Monica Jones is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana with a decade of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, low self-esteem, grief, anger, and challenges around parenting and life changes. Monica values practical steps and honest conversation to help people move forward.

She encourages clients to name their strengths and use those strengths to face hard moments. Monica leans on several proven therapy methods in sessions.

Background and approach

She draws from cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and emotionally-focused approaches to help clients manage thoughts and feelings. She also uses attachment-based and client-centered techniques to build trust and understanding in the room. Her style is collaborative and straightforward.

Monica listens first, then works with each person to set clear, manageable goals. She helps clients practice new ways of thinking and acting between meetings so progress can carry into daily life. Monica has worked across many concerns tied to family and parenting as well as personal struggles like career stress and body image.

She focuses on real-world tools for coping, improving communication, and repairing relationships when possible. Parents and caregivers often find her approach practical and down-to-earth. People who choose Monica can expect a therapist who respects their knowledge of their own life and offers steady support.

She aims to help clients build skills that last beyond therapy.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It teaches values-based action so clients can move toward a meaningful life even when emotions are hard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps people learn practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding and working with emotions to improve how people relate to themselves and others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Monica will talk with each person about their goals, history, and preferences and will suggest strategies that match those needs. The plan is collaborative so changes can be adjusted as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. These options allow people to meet from home or other convenient places and choose the format that feels easiest for them. Flexibility helps maintain momentum between appointments and supports steady progress.

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.
