I believe that a sense of compassion is essential in dealing with life's challenges, and I take my work and my clients seriously. Seeking help is difficult enough, and it's my job to make the process easier by offering my clients a warm, empathic, and safe place to address their challenges and concerns. If you are struggling with a particular issue, or simply looking for a safe place to express yourself, I'm excited to begin the process with you. I am a clinical psychologist with 17 years of experience, and am currently licensed in Virginia, Tennessee and Arkansas. I was excited to join the BetterHelp team because I have always believed that mental health services are more effective in a range of formats, and in a manner that makes them accessible anytime and anywhere. My areas of expertise include depression, anxiety, trauma, stress and adjusting to many of the challenges life throws our way. I utilize a client-centered approach (meaning that YOU are the expert on you) that will allow you to identify your own strengths and resources, as well as cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness-based and dialectical behavior therapeutic approaches. I look forward to speaking with you!

Hi, I’m Monica, a licensed therapist and emotional clarity coach offering online therapy across Tennessee. For over a decade, I’ve supported adults navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, family dynamics, trauma, emotional overwhelm, identity shifts, and life transitions. If you’ve been feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward, you don’t have to figure it out alone. Therapy offers a space to explore what’s underneath the surface and create meaningful change from the inside out. My approach is holistic, integrative, and trauma-informed. That means we won’t only focus on fixing problems, we're going to explore your experiences with compassion and curiosity, supporting your mind, body, and emotional world. Depending on your needs and comfort level, I may draw from tools like mindfulness, somatic practices, CBT, Brainspotting, or inner child work to help you reconnect with yourself and feel more grounded. At the heart of my work is the belief that every challenge holds a deeper invitation to know yourself more fully, to relate more intentionally, and to live in alignment with what matters most to you. Together, we’ll create a safe, supportive space where you can process what’s been weighing on you, build emotional clarity, and begin living with more confidence, calm, and connection. If you’re ready to begin this next chapter of your healing, I’d be honored to walk with you. I currently have morning sessions available.

Have you ever had a thought that sounds like ”I’m too broken to fix.” People are not broken, but our maladaptive patterns can be. I am a firm believer that our thoughts control our actions, and I work with my clients (addicts, college students, retirees, veterans, critical illness patients, and more) to identify the patterns that are holding them back so they can find a more fulfilling way to live life utilizing a variety of approaches that are ultimately decided by the client. You are the expert on yourself. I am here to guide, not to fix. I am so happy that you have taken this step to learn how to best live your life. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who received my master’s degree at Kennesaw State University and cut my clinical teeth working in the world of addiction. I quickly realized that many of my clients were not only facing depression and anxiety but had underlying concerns of grief and loss, experience of a traumatic event, family issues, and many other issues that result in destructive patterns to fill a hole where self-worth used to be. What that guidance looks like depends on what you are looking for. Some clients have a literal written list, and we go down and process memories one by one; others want to process emotions or behaviors. I can give written homework, or homework that simply requires you to think or notice how you think and behave in your day-to-day life. We will discover connections and patterns, and discover what has been helpful and what has been destructive. There is always another perspective to consider when you are faced with an uncomfortable situation. I can help to reveal new perspectives, because sometimes we are just too tired to try something new on our own. I draw from several different modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy quite a bit, but ultimately try to follow Carl Rogers and meet every client with Unconditional Positive Regard. Your past might be a terrifying place full of regret. You are here because you want to heal something. You are still a human being worthy of my (and honestly everyone’s) time and respect. You are not broken, but your patterns can be, and I am so excited to help you reshape them into the life you want.
