About Monica
Monica Jha is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people in Tennessee manage anxiety, stress, relationship strain, and sudden life changes. She uses clear, direct conversation to help people find practical ways forward when they feel stuck or overwhelmed. Sessions are aimed at building emotional clarity and steady coping skills for daily life.
Monica frames therapy as a collaborative process. She listens for what matters most to each person and suggests straightforward tools that fit daily routines.
Background and approach
Many sessions focus on breathing and attention skills, changing unhelpful thinking patterns, and small steps that create momentum. Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with mindfulness-based practices. Monica also draws on solution-focused and trauma-informed methods when those fit a person's goals.
Techniques are chosen to match what someone needs in the moment rather than following a single script. With nine years as a licensed counselor, Monica has supported people through grief, addiction concerns, parenting stress, career questions, and challenges tied to identity and intimacy. She offers practical strategies for impulsivity, anger, codependency, and midlife transition along with stress reduction skills.
Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Monica guides each person toward clear, manageable steps and checks in on what’s working so plans can be adjusted over time.
Bringing ACT and CBT tools to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and when someone is trying to move toward a clearer life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and offers concrete exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and problem-focused goals.Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try techniques that fit their needs. This is a collaborative process and plans are adjusted based on what helps most in real life.
Online therapy through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging offers flexibility for different days and schedules. Video calls let people read body language and have a more traditional session. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging provide a way to send quick updates, reflect between sessions, or keep therapy going for those who prefer written communication. These options make it easier to use ACT, CBT, and mindfulness skills without rearranging an entire day.
