About Monna
Monna Kendrick is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) based in Kentucky with 15 years of experience. She aims to help people manage anxiety, stress, depression, panic, grief, and relationship strain. Her style is straightforward and caring, with attention to what each person needs in the moment.
She draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness and acceptance-based tools are used to reduce reactivity and build tolerance for difficult feelings.
Background and approach
Attachment-based and client-centered techniques guide conversations about relationships and self-image. Much of her background is in inpatient work, including acute and residential settings. That experience gave wide exposure to mood disorders, trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, and crisis-related care.
She has worked with people from many walks of life and with varied identities and backgrounds. In sessions she focuses on listening, education, and practical skills. Expect a collaborative tone where the therapist helps you try tools and adjust them to fit your daily life.
Common goals include reducing panic attacks, improving communication, and finding steadier mood management. Monna also addresses issues like parenting strain, compassion fatigue, ADHD, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and challenges faced by veterans. She offers short-term skill-building and longer-term work depending on what a person needs.
Approaches that translate well to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, panic, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying new behaviors to reduce symptoms like panic, depression, and social anxiety. CBT often uses short exercises between sessions to practice new skills. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness, which supports work on stress, grief, and mood regulation.Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that fit their goals and daily routine. Sessions can shift over time from skill-building to deeper relational or meaning-focused work as needed.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation for role plays and guided exercises. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support brief reflections, homework prompts, or ongoing encouragement between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting, or other life demands while using ACT, CBT, and mindfulness-based exercises.
