About Monica
Monica Mitry is an ACA counsellor and AASW social worker with 10 years of experience in Australia. She works with people who are carrying stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem and big life changes. Monica also helps with issues such as abandonment, communication problems, control issues, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation and workplace pressures.
Her practice draws on a mix of evidence-based techniques and interpersonal micro skills. Monica describes her stance as socially inclusive, trauma-informed and solution focused. Sessions aim to identify what is getting in the way now and to try small, practical steps to change how clients respond to those problems.
Monica uses tools from cognitive behavioural approaches, schema work and dialectical behavioural ideas, while also bringing in gestalt and acceptance and commitment concepts when useful. She may add art-based exercises to help people express things that are hard to say in words. The focus is on clear strategies people can use between sessions as well as talking things through in the room.
Her background includes clinical supervision and case management alongside direct counselling work. Monica has worked with clients facing complex and co-occurring difficulties and has experience across the lifespan. She provides work that blends assessment, planning and hands-on techniques to help people manage immediate distress and practical life problems.
To begin, she invites prospective clients to use the service's matching steps and schedule an initial session. That process includes a short questionnaire and a chance to check which session options suit each person.
How Monica describes her clinical methods and online work
Monica uses well-established therapeutic techniques in plain, practical ways. Cognitive behavioural methods focus on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small experiments to reduce anxiety and stress. Schema-informed ideas look at long-standing patterns that keep people stuck, helping identify where old responses come from and how to try different actions.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Monica will discuss different methods with each person, adapt them to the client's goals and check in about what is or isn't helpful as sessions progress. The aim is to choose tools that feel manageable and relevant to the person's daily life.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. The practical benefits of working online include fitting sessions into a busy week, shorter check-ins when time is limited and the ability to use exercises or visual materials during a session. Monica combines discussion with concrete coping strategies and, when appropriate, art-based activities that translate well to remote sessions.
