Monya Holt, LMHC - Therapist in Florida

About Monya

Monya Holt is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor who helps people handle stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and life changes. She offers straightforward support for issues like grief, intimacy concerns, self-esteem struggles, and career stress. Her style is open and nonjudgmental, aimed at helping people take the small steps that lead to bigger changes.

Clients can expect a calm virtual space where thoughts and feelings are listened to with attention. Monya emphasizes practical conversation and clear goals rather than long lectures.

Background and approach

She often uses skills that people can try between sessions to build momentum. Monya has seven years of experience working with substance use concerns and co-occurring mental health difficulties. She brings that experience to sessions focused on codependency, drug and alcohol addiction, and midlife transitions.

Her approach mixes practical tools and personal support to address the issue at hand. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, collaborative atmosphere. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to identify patterns and try new responses.

Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy help people clarify goals and recognize steps they can take now. Monya practices as an LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor - in Florida (FL LMHC MH21887). Sessions are offered in English and are primarily conducted online, including evenings and weekend options to fit busy schedules.

Practical approaches for online support

Monya commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and creating an accepting space so people can talk through what matters to them and choose their next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns, and then practices new behaviors to reduce stress and improve mood.

She also incorporates Motivational Interviewing when people are weighing change. That approach helps clarify what matters most and builds motivation one step at a time. Choosing the best mix of methods is collaborative - the therapist and client work together to decide which tools match the client’s goals and comfort level.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit counselling around work and family life, to get support from home, and to continue progress between meetings. Monya aims to make scheduling simple with evening and weekend options so therapy can fit into a busy life.

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.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
