About Monica

Monica Rawlings is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, relationship struggles, and ADHD. She centers care on compassion and meeting clients where they are, supporting practical coping and emotional processing while honoring each person’s values and identity.

Background and approach

Monica emphasizes collaboration and helps clients develop self-awareness, improved communication, and more adaptive ways of relating to themselves and others. Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including grief, body image, attachment challenges, workplace stress, and major life transitions such as divorce or midlife shifts.

Monica also brings sensitivity to the experiences of neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ clients and integrates evidence-based techniques to foster resilience and meaningful change.

With ten years of clinical experience and the LCMHC credential in Utah, she aims to create an affirming, nonjudgmental therapeutic space where clients can explore self-love, purpose, and healthier patterns at a pace that feels right for them.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Monica uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Attachment-Based Therapy to guide online work. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and managing symptoms related to ADHD. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns formed early in life and how they influence current relationships, offering strategies to improve connection, communication, and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist collaborates with each client to determine which methods best fit their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time to support progress and comfort in sessions.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to schedule consistent meetings and access support from different locations. These formats allow clients to engage with licensed professionals in ways that suit their daily routines while working on stress, trauma, relationship concerns, ADHD-related challenges, and other difficulties using evidence-informed strategies.
