About Monica

Monica Sosa is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New Mexico who works with adults facing stress, anxiety, mood concerns, trauma, grief, and ADHD.

Background and approach

With eight years of post-master's clinical experience, she draws on a broad skill set to support people navigating depression, anger, addiction concerns, family conflict, and life transitions. Her practice emphasizes respectful, compassionate care and a collaborative stance that centers each person's goals and strengths.

Monica blends client-centered principles with evidence-informed methods, adapting techniques to fit the needs of each person she sees. She frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and incorporates elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing when appropriate.

Monica also has experience addressing issues related to adoption and foster care, disruptive mood patterns, impulsivity, and post-traumatic stress, and she brings a warm, practical approach to helping clients develop new coping skills and improve relationships.

How Monica’s Therapeutic Approaches Work Online

Monica commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy when working with clients online. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression, offering practical tools and skill-building. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and collaboration so that clients feel heard and supported while exploring their goals and values.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Monica works together with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time as progress and circumstances evolve. That collaborative process helps ensure care is suited to the individual's priorities.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different lifestyles and schedules. These formats can make it easier to attend appointments from home or work, maintain continuity during life changes, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working on stress, trauma, ADHD-related concerns, mood, and relationship challenges.
