About Monica

Monica Jha is a licensed professional counselor who helps people manage stress and anxiety. She works with adults facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, trauma, and life transitions. Her tone is straightforward and compassionate for those who feel stuck or overwhelmed.

Monica uses a mix of practical tools and reflective work. She often combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness practices to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try small, manageable changes. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and build purposeful action.

Her approach is trauma-informed and attentive to how body and emotions interact. Monica draws on solution-focused techniques to set clear goals and on longer process work when needed. Sessions aim to help clients feel more grounded and able to make decisions that fit their life.

Monica has nine years of clinical experience and holds the Licensed Professional Counselor credential, LPC. She provides services to people in Tennessee and conducts work in English. The therapy process begins with understanding immediate concerns and then tailoring tools that fit each person’s comfort and pace.

To start, Monica asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on availability. She uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time for billing, and session cost varies with location and therapist availability. This structure supports continuity while allowing adjustments as needs change.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Monica often draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety. ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and take committed action, which can be helpful for stress, life changes, and low mood.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Monica will listen to your goals and try different techniques together to see what helps. She adjusts tools and pace so the work fits your needs and day-to-day life.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can still make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow flexible check-ins during a lunch break or morning routine. It can also make it simpler to practice mindfulness or behavioral exercises between meetings so changes carry over into everyday life.
