About Monica
Monica Jones is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and challenges with addictions. She also supports those facing low self-esteem, life changes, grief, anger, and career concerns. Parents who need guidance with parenting issues and people coping with bipolar concerns can find practical support.
She works with attachment wounds, abandonment concerns, and body image struggles as well. Monica keeps sessions focused and direct.
Background and approach
She treats clients as the expert on their own lives and looks for strengths to build on. Conversations are geared toward small, doable steps rather than long lectures. She aims to make each session feel useful and respectful of someone’s time.
Her approach blends a few practical methods. Monica uses cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts and emotion-focused ideas to deepen understanding of patterns. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take action toward them.
Attachment-based work informs how she addresses relationship and family of origin issues. With ten years of experience, she has worked with people facing trauma, domestic violence, and coping with disasters. Monica offers straightforward strategies for caregiver stress, control issues, and problems linked to dependent personality patterns.
She also supports those navigating divorce and fatherhood concerns. Monica conducts sessions in English and works online by phone, video, live chat, or text messaging. She asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire to start, then schedule sessions based on the therapist’s availability.
How her approaches guide online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take steps that match their values. This approach can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and struggles with motivation.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and behavior changes related to addictions.
Monica sees finding the right approach as a team effort. She will talk with clients about goals, try ideas that fit their needs, and adjust methods when something isn’t working. The process is collaborative and paced to what each person feels ready for.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions work well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a lighter option when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, quick follow-ups, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make scheduling more flexible and help fit therapy into busy days.
