About Monica

Monica Jha is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Tennessee who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, relationship strain, and life changes. She offers straightforward support for depression, grief, addiction concerns, ADHD, and issues around identity and intimacy. Monica writes in a warm, calm way and invites clients to talk through what's under the surface and find clearer direction.

She brings nine years of clinical experience to her work and frames therapy as a process of emotional clarity. Monica uses a mix of practical tools and reflective work, helping people notice patterns, learn new skills, and make changes that match their values. Sessions often include mindfulness and coping strategies that can be practiced between meetings.

Monica describes her approach as trauma-informed and integrative. That means she pays attention to how past hurt shows up now, while also using goal-focused techniques to reduce symptoms. She may draw on methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy as they fit the person's needs.

Her style is collaborative and grounded. Clients can expect clear steps, work on communication and boundaries, and attention to emotional and bodily reactions. Monica aims to help people feel more confident, calm, and connected in daily life.

How Monica's approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small, meaningful actions toward them while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, anger, and life transitions by shifting attention to what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors with practical exercises to reduce unhelpful patterns and build new coping skills. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase emotional awareness, which supports work on anger, trauma responses, and daily overwhelm.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy work. Monica will listen to a person's goals and preferences and then suggest methods to try. That collaboration allows the plan to change as needs evolve so people can test what helps and keep what works.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since online formats are not specified here. Many people find online therapy helpful because it can fit into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and make it easier to check in during a work break or between errands. Online sessions also allow therapists to assign short practice exercises to use between meetings to keep progress moving forward.
