About Monica
Monica Purvis is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people manage stress and anxiety. She focuses on practical strategies that make daily life feel more manageable. Monica writes and listens with a calm, direct style to help people move forward.
She uses short-term, hands-on techniques alongside deeper conversation. Sessions often include identifying unhelpful thoughts, trying small behavior changes, and setting clear, realistic goals. She also pays attention to how past events affect present reactions, especially when trauma or strong emotions are involved.
Background and approach
Monica draws on more than two decades of experience to guide these steps. She has worked in settings that involved parenting and family concerns and brings that background into sessions when relevant. Her approach is straightforward and focused on what works for each person.
Common topics she addresses include grief, relationship stress, anger, addiction-related struggles, and challenges with self-esteem. She also supports people facing life transitions, career stress, compassion fatigue, and attention-related concerns. Monica aims to help people find coping tools that fit their daily routines.
In session she balances practical skill-building with listening to each person’s story. She helps clients try small changes, review what worked, and adjust plans as needed. The goal is steady progress that feels doable, not overwhelming.
How Monica’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship so people feel heard and understood; it helps when someone needs space to sort their feelings and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence feelings and teaches practical tools to change reactions and reduce anxiety or depression. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing painful memories and reducing their hold on daily life through gradual, guided work.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Monica will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. She adapts methods as sessions progress so the plan stays useful and relevant to real-life needs.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people use face-to-face time from home or work when scheduling allows. Phone sessions or live chat can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Text-based messaging can serve as brief check-ins or a way to keep momentum between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to fit consistent care into a daily routine.
