About Monica
Monica Jha is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Tennessee with nine years of experience. She works with adults who are coping with anxiety, stress, relationship struggles, trauma, grief, identity questions, and life transitions. She also lists concerns such as guilt and shame, addiction, ADHD, and issues around intimacy and family dynamics.
Monica uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. She helps people notice patterns, try small changes, and learn skills that make daily life easier. Sessions focus on what feels most pressing and on steps a person can take between meetings.
Her toolbox includes approaches drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy, among others. She may also use solution-focused and trauma-informed practices as needed. The aim is to match methods to the problem at hand rather than following a single fixed plan.
Monica describes her work as involving curiosity about a person’s history and attention to how feelings show up in the body and behavior. She helps clients name difficult emotions like shame or guilt, see how those emotions influence choices, and practice new ways of responding. Sessions tend to blend skills training, mindful awareness, and real-world problem solving.
People seeking help are guided through clear steps for getting started, including a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Monica offers her services in English for adults based in Tennessee.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values. It helps people choose actions that align with what matters, even when uncomfortable feelings arise. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness of bodily signals and emotions.Finding the best way to work is collaborative. Monica will discuss which approaches fit a person’s goals and preferences. Together they will try strategies, review what helps, and adjust methods when needed so the work stays relevant to daily life.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so clients should confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, require less travel, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. If someone prefers fewer on-camera minutes or a quicker phone check-in, that practical preference can be discussed when arranging sessions.
