About Monica

Monica Purvis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who brings 21 years of clinical experience to her work with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, ADHD, and a wide range of related concerns.

Background and approach

She focuses on practical coping strategies and emotional breakthroughs, helping clients navigate life changes, manage impulsivity and anger, address addictions, and rebuild self-esteem and intimacy after difficult experiences. Monica's background includes significant work with children, adolescents, parents, and families, which informs her thoughtful, developmentally aware approach.

Her style blends empathy with evidence-based techniques, drawing on client-centered principles to build trust and on cognitive behavioral and solution-focused methods to set achievable goals. When trauma is part of a client’s history, she incorporates trauma-focused strategies designed to reduce distress and restore daily functioning.

Monica practices in Georgia and conducts sessions in English, prioritizing collaborative planning so each person leaves with practical tools tailored to their situation.

Integrating evidence-based approaches with online care

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and building an understanding relationship, giving clients room to express their priorities while the therapist reflects and supports their personal goals. This approach is helpful for people coping with stress, relationship difficulties, grief, and parenting concerns because it centers the client's experience and preferences.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and developing practical skills to change behaviors and emotional responses. CBT is frequently used for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges like impulsivity, and coping with life transitions by teaching actionable strategies and problem-solving techniques.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to determine which methods fit their goals and comfort level, adjusting techniques over time based on progress and feedback to ensure the work remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make scheduling easier for busy families or those balancing work and caregiving. These formats support continuity of care and let clients practice skills between sessions in ways that match their daily routines, enhancing access and consistency.
