About Monica

Monica Cowan is an Oregon-licensed LPC who guides people seeking greater motivation, confidence, and balance in their lives. She focuses on practical concerns such as career challenges, self-esteem, and coping with life transitions, and she includes ADHD among the topics she addresses.

Background and approach

Monica aims to help clients build clearer goals and strengthen coping skills while honoring each person’s pace and priorities. Her style blends compassionate listening with evidence-informed methods like cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness, and solution-focused tools.

With a decade of professional experience, she also brings coaching techniques to support executive and professional growth, and she is attentive to stressors such as compassion fatigue, grief, sleep difficulties, and parenting pressures.

Monica creates a welcoming therapeutic space where clients can explore difficult feelings and try new approaches without judgement, and she encourages the small acts of courage that start meaningful change.

Approaches in Online Care and What They Offer



Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and support so clients feel understood as they explore personal goals and challenges; it helps when the priority is building trust, self-awareness, and a safe space to consider change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering practical tools for issues such as anxiety, stress, sleep problems, and mood regulation. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and stress-reduction skills that can complement other strategies and improve emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try techniques that match those goals, and adjust the plan based on what is most helpful. This flexible, team-oriented method ensures that interventions fit a client’s preferences and everyday life demands rather than imposing a single method.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible options that suit different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy periods or when in-person visits are difficult, and they allow licensed professionals to deliver structured therapeutic tools, coaching strategies, and skills practice across a variety of concerns.
