Monica Purvis, LPC - Therapist in Georgia

About Monica

Monica Purvis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on family and parenting concerns along with common stresses that affect daily life. She writes plainly and listens closely to what matters in each family. Monica helps parents and caregivers find steady ways to handle anxiety, grief, anger, addiction, and changes at home.

She draws on practical strategies so families can make small, useful changes right away. Monica uses straightforward, goal-minded therapy to help people manage stress and rebuild relationships.

Background and approach

She teaches clear tools for coping with depression, ADHD, intimacy worries, and problems that come from family changes like divorce or blended households. Sessions often include steps families can try between meetings to see real shifts. Her work includes attention to attachment issues, communication breakdowns, boundary-setting, and the effects of trauma and abuse.

She also addresses feelings of shame, isolation, and the aftermath of loss. Monica adapts her approach to each person’s situation instead of using the same plan for everyone. With 21 years in the field, Monica brings steady experience to practical family work.

She stays focused on what a family needs to move forward. Her Georgia-based LPC credential guides her practice and informs the techniques she offers. Parents seeking help will find brief, concrete steps and a calm, patient style.

Monica aims to make therapy something a busy family can use, not something that adds more stress.

How Monica Uses Therapy Models Online

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building understanding together. It helps people feel heard and makes space for their priorities, which can be useful for parenting stress, grief, and communication struggles.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It offers concrete exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and change unhelpful habits.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Monica collaborates with each person or family to decide which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift as progress is made.

Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match a family’s schedule and comfort. These formats make it easier for busy parents to get support between other commitments and to use brief coaching or skill practice when it is most needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and check-ins to work well across these options.

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.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
