About Monica
Monica Jones is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and challenges with addiction. She works with adults on self-esteem, motivation, and coping with major life changes. Monica emphasizes starting where a person is and moves at a pace that feels safe and useful.
Her approach is straightforward and person-focused. She treats clients as the experts on their own lives and highlights existing strengths.
Background and approach
Sessions are practical and aimed at building skills people can use between meetings. Monica draws from several therapy methods to match each person's needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and actions.
Attachment-based and emotionally-focused ideas help when relationship patterns and emotional responses are central concerns. Over ten years of work in counseling informs her practice style. Monica aims to create a calm, attentive space where people can try new ways of coping.
She helps clients break problems into manageable steps and track small changes over time. Common issues she supports include grief, trauma and abuse, anger, parenting stress, career decisions, and bipolar-related challenges. Monica also works on concerns tied to body image, family of origin struggles, and caregiving burden.
Her sessions focus on clear goals, steady progress, and practical tools people can use in daily life.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions. It helps people accept what they cannot change and commit to actions that match their values, which can reduce anxiety and avoidant behavior. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches practical skills to shift patterns that keep problems going. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues.Choosing which approach to use is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals, try a few techniques, and adapt based on what feels most helpful. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to each person's needs and comfort level.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people use body language and visual cues, while phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for short check-ins, homework support, or when someone prefers writing over speaking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and to use skills in everyday moments.
