About Monica

Monica Jha is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Tennessee who focuses on helping adults untangle stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She brings nine years of clinical experience and an integrative, trauma-informed perspective to sessions, guiding clients through emotional overwhelm, identity shifts, grief, and concerns such as ADHD, self-esteem, and intimacy-related issues. Monica emphasizes exploring underlying patterns rather than only treating surface symptoms, helping clients discover practical strategies and deeper understanding.

Her work blends evidence-based techniques with mindfulness and compassion, tailoring interventions to each person’s needs. She commonly uses approaches like cognitive behavioral strategies, acceptance and commitment ideas, mindfulness practices, and trauma-focused work to support coping, reduce reactivity, and strengthen emotional clarity.

Monica also addresses areas such as communication problems, codependency, impulsivity, and career or parenting stress, aiming to help clients build resilience and align actions with their values. Clients who seek a collaborative, reflective therapist will find an emphasis on curiosity and practical change.

Monica frames challenges as opportunities for greater self-knowledge and works with clients to create sustainable shifts in thinking, feeling, and behavior. She offers online sessions throughout Tennessee and maintains flexibility to support differing schedules and needs.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Monica draws from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice concrete skills that reduce anxiety and improve mood. CBT sessions often involve collaborative problem-solving and homework to reinforce new ways of responding to stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) complements this by focusing on values-based action and learning to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, which can be useful for life transitions, relationship concerns, and issues like ADHD-related challenges.

Mindfulness-based practices are another component she uses to increase present-moment awareness and reduce emotional reactivity; these gentle exercises can be adapted easily to virtual formats. The therapist approaches treatment collaboratively, inviting clients to experiment with different techniques and decide together which methods align best with their goals, comfort level, and daily routines. Finding the right fit is part of the work rather than a prerequisite.

Online therapy with video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility for those juggling work, family, or mobility limits. These formats allow regular contact and continuity of care while accommodating varied schedules, and Monica tailors session types to what helps clients stay consistent and engaged in their progress.
