About Monna
Monna Kendrick is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Kentucky with 15 years of experience. She works with adults facing depression, anxiety, panic, grief, trauma, and relationship or communication struggles, and has a stated focus on guilt and shame among other concerns.
She began her clinical work in inpatient settings and has experience in both acute and residential care. That background means she is familiar with higher-intensity treatment environments and transitions back to everyday life.
In sessions she emphasizes support and education. She listens actively and uses empathy while talking through what a person is facing. Her approach draws on practical therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, attachment-based methods, and client-centered ways of working.
Clients can expect conversations that look at feelings, patterns, and small steps forward. She helps people name troubling thoughts and behaviors and practices skills to manage them. The work often includes building clearer communication and strategies for coping with life changes or ongoing stress.
Her experience includes treating mood disorders, addictions, parenting concerns, anger, ADHD, and end-of-life or hospice related issues. Monna works in English and sees adults in Kentucky. To begin, prospective clients use the site's matching process and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. It can help with persistent guilt, shame, anxiety, and motivation by building willingness to face difficult feelings while taking value-based steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. That work often involves identifying unhelpful thinking, trying experiments or behavior changes, and practicing new ways of responding to triggers like panic or depressive thinking.
Mindfulness therapy brings attention to present-moment experience through simple exercises. It can reduce rumination and help people interrupt cycles of shame or worry by returning to observable sensations and breath.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which approaches to emphasize based on their goals, symptoms, and preferences, adjusting as progress is made.
