About Monica

Monica Davis is a licensed independent social worker (LISW) in Ohio who integrates evidence-based therapies with a trauma-informed, culturally responsive stance.

Background and approach

With six years of clinical experience across community health centers and urban schools in Columbus, she draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based work to address concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, and ADHD.

Her practice emphasizes identity-affirming care and liberation-focused perspectives that honor the varied identities and life stories clients bring. Monica combines mindfulness and somatic-informed techniques with skills-based therapies like DBT to support regulation, insight, and behavioral change.

She describes therapy as a collaborative process built on trust, goal-setting, and exploration of attachment patterns and internal parts. Clients can expect an inclusive, respectful atmosphere that values empowerment and mutual respect.

Monica offers practical strategies alongside reflective, experiential work aimed at resilience, greater self-understanding, and improved coping with life transitions and trauma-related concerns.

Integrating evidence-based approaches for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and take committed action toward a meaningful life while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for mood and anxiety management. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns formed over time, helping people understand how early connections influence current relationships and emotional responses.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Monica works with clients to identify which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts interventions as the work unfolds so treatment remains responsive and client-centered.

Online therapy with Monica is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and life demands, and they allow ongoing practice of skills between sessions to support real-world progress.
