About Monica
Monica Jones is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, depression, and the challenges of major life changes.
Monica centers conversations on what the person already knows about their life. She treats clients as the expert on their story and helps them build on strengths. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings and on making daily routines feel more manageable.
Her approach draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at patterns in emotions and attachment. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Monica includes client-centered and attachment-based ideas when it fits the person's goals.
In session she will help name emotions that feel confusing and map how those emotions show up in relationships and choices. She also works with issues like grief, anger, parenting stress, career strain, and trauma-related concerns. Monica pays attention to how past relationships and family background affect present problems.
People who come to Monica often want clearer ways to manage strong feelings and to change repeated patterns. She supports practical problem solving, skill building, and brief experiments people can use between sessions. To begin, she asks a few questions to understand what matters most to the client.
How her approaches translate to online work
Monica commonly uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to identify emotional patterns and attachment needs, helping people see how feelings drive their reactions in close relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to clarify values and practice small actions that align with those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test alternative ways of thinking and acting.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Monica will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedule constraints arise. Some people find video useful for face-to-face conversation, while others prefer audio for a lower-bandwidth option; discuss which format suits your needs during the first scheduling step.
