About Monica

Monica Jha is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, and men’s wellbeing concerns. She works with adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward and offers a calm, practical space to talk things through.

Monica uses straightforward methods to help clients gain emotional clarity and make changes that matter. She often blends acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive behavioral tools, mindfulness, solution-focused steps, and trauma-informed practices to match each person's needs. Sessions emphasize small, usable strategies alongside deeper exploration of patterns and history.

Her background spans nine years of clinical work in Tennessee. Monica has experience addressing a wide range of issues including addiction, family conflict, intimacy-related struggles, parenting stress, career concerns, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She pays attention to how life transitions and identity shifts affect daily coping.

In sessions she aims to balance practical skills with curiosity about underlying feelings and beliefs. Clients can expect clear options for change, and collaborative planning for manageable steps forward. Monica frames challenges as opportunities to build more connection, calm, and purpose.

To begin the process she asks people to share their immediate concerns and goals so she can tailor tools that fit their lives. That makes therapy feel focused from the start while leaving room to look deeper as needed.

Approaches that translate to online work

Monica often draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches clear strategies to change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can relieve anxiety and low mood.

She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people become steadier in the moment and reduce reactivity. These practices are taught in short exercises and simple daily routines that are easy to try between sessions. Finding the right approach is part of the process; Monica works collaboratively to pick methods that match a client’s goals, comfort level, and life demands rather than imposing a single way of working.

Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, cut travel time, and allow brief check-ins or full-length work without rearranging the day. Monica helps clients choose a setup that fits their routine and the work they want to do together.
