About Monica
Monica Connell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with four years of experience based in Colorado. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues like guilt and shame. Monica also helps people facing career pressures, caregiving strain, ADHD-related challenges, and feelings of isolation or emptiness.
She approaches work by listening first and reflecting back what she hears. That helps people feel understood and notice what matters most. Monica and a client look at the root causes of a concern together, then set a shared purpose for therapy.
Her process is collaborative and practical. Sessions include exploring past wounds and identifying steps to regain a sense of control. Monica describes repair as a gradual process and focuses on creating manageable momentum rather than sudden change.
She uses short-term planning alongside longer-term work, helping clients develop clearer communication, address codependency or attachment issues, and handle workplace or caregiver stress. She also supports people navigating midlife questions, life purpose, and aging-related concerns.
Monica offers day and evening hours and asks people to begin by completing a brief matching questionnaire. That helps her and the client see whether scheduling and goals align before arranging a first session.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Monica draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that prioritize clear steps and observable change. One common approach focuses on identifying and processing past wounds that continue to affect current feelings; this involves talking through specific memories, noticing how they show up now, and practicing ways to reduce their hold. Another approach emphasizes skills for emotion regulation and coping, teaching concrete strategies to manage anxiety, anger, or overwhelm in day-to-day life.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client will review needs, goals, and preferences and decide collaboratively which techniques to try. That shared decision-making helps shape session focus and the pace of treatment.
