Monica Garnett

Monica Garnett is a licensed counselor who helps people regain balance in their daily lives. She uses a collaborative style to help clients learn emotional regulation and build practical coping skills. Monica holds LCPC and LPC credentials and works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, anger, depression, relationships, and addictions.

Her background includes direct work supporting people through trauma, grief, and intimacy-related issues. She emphasizes clear communication skills and strategies that can be used between sessions. Monica has three years of experience in the roles reflected here and practices from California, offering services in English.

In sessions she focuses on short-term, goal-oriented steps and on building skills for handling strong emotions. Clients can expect straightforward tools for managing anger and anxiety, and concrete ways to rebuild self-esteem and get through life changes. She also addresses compassion fatigue and supports people facing addiction-related challenges.

Monica blends client-centered conversation with structured techniques to match each person's needs. She draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing to create practical plans. The aim is to help people leave sessions with specific skills they can try right away.

Her approach is collaborative: the therapist and client set goals together and monitor progress. People interested in starting will complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How these approaches work in online sessions

Client-centered therapy is built around the client’s concerns and priorities. The therapist listens closely, reflects what they hear, and helps clients discover their own solutions. This approach can help when someone needs space to make sense of emotions like anger or sadness.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It offers clear exercises and steps to change how someone reacts to stress or anger, which can be practiced between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, provides concrete skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance and is useful for strong emotion management.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and daily life. Treatment plans are adjusted as needs change, so the approach may shift over time based on what helps most.

Online therapy can make regular sessions easier to fit into a busy week. Please confirm available session formats before booking, since current options may vary. The benefits often include shorter check-ins when needed, the ability to use video when helpful, and a way to attend sessions without traveling. These practical advantages can help people maintain momentum while learning new skills.
