About Monica
Monica Davis is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) based in Ohio. She brings six years of practice from community health centers and urban school settings. Monica focuses on anxiety, stress, depression, trauma and relationship concerns, helping people find clearer footing when life feels overwhelming.
Monica uses a mix of practical strategies and reflective work. Sessions often include mindfulness exercises, concrete coping skills, and conversations about attachment and close relationships.
Background and approach
She centers identity-affirming care and pays attention to how cultural and social factors shape each person’s experience. Her background includes work with people facing grief, parenting strains, career stress, and struggles with self-esteem or body image. Monica also supports people navigating ADHD, sexual orientation and gender identity questions, and the effects of prejudice or discrimination.
She draws on evidence-informed tools to address social anxiety, post-traumatic stress, and dissociation when present. In session she emphasizes listening, collaborative goal-setting, and practical skill-building. Monica often blends cognitive behavioral techniques with acceptance- and mindfulness-based practices to help people manage distress and act on their values.
She also explores attachment patterns and how early relationships affect current life. Monica describes therapy as a partnership where trust and respect guide the work. She offers experiential activities and mindfulness practices alongside talk-based interventions.
People who want a thoughtful, culturally aware approach that combines skills with insight may find her style useful.
Online therapy approaches that focus on values and patterns
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting swept away. It emphasizes values-based action so someone can move toward a meaningful life even when anxiety or fear is present.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns into manageable steps. It teaches practical tools for reducing anxiety, improving mood, and changing responses to stressful situations.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current connections and emotional responses. This approach can help people understand patterns in intimacy, trust, and coping so they can form healthier ways of relating.
Monica treats choosing an approach as a collaborative process. She will work with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. Over time she adjusts techniques based on what helps most, so the plan evolves with the client.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversations and exercises that use visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are practical for shorter check-ins, skill practice, or quick support between sessions. These options make scheduling more flexible and allow therapy to fit around work, caregiving, or school commitments.
