About Monica
Monica Jones is a licensed professional counselor in Louisiana with 10 years of practice. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, addiction concerns, and low self-esteem. She also supports those facing depression, grief, and major life changes.
Monica believes clients already have strengths to build on and offers steady support during hard moments. Monica centers sessions on clear goals and practical steps. She listens first, then helps clients notice patterns that keep problems going.
Background and approach
From there she suggests small, doable changes clients can try between sessions. The focus is on what will make daily life easier and more manageable. Her approach blends several methods to fit each person's needs.
Monica uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts and acceptance-based ideas to reduce struggle with difficult feelings. She also draws on attachment and emotion-focused ways of understanding relationships and reactions. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented.
Monica invites people to set priorities and to track progress in ways that make sense for them. She emphasizes coping skills people can use right away when stress or anger flares. People who choose Monica will find a calm, practical partner for change.
She supports parents dealing with parenting stress and those working through family of origin or relationship concerns. Monica aims to make therapy useful day to day, not just something to talk about.

How her approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It supports taking values-based actions even when strong emotions arise, which is useful for anger, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It teaches specific skills to challenge unhelpful thoughts and to try different behaviors in daily life.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest which methods to try first. Plans can be adjusted over time based on what is helping and what feels workable for the client.
Online formats offer flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option or fit a break during a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, skill practice, or journaling-style reflections between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a routine and keep momentum on coping skills and behavior changes.
