About Monica
Monica Rawlings is a licensed clinical mental health counselor who focuses on helping people during hard times. She offers calm, direct support for stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, and addiction.
Background and approach
Monica writes simply and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone who is unsure where to begin. She uses practical, person-centered methods to help people understand patterns and try small changes.
Monica draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) tools to teach coping skills for intense emotions and recurring worries. She also incorporates Attachment-Based ideas to look at how relationships shape thoughts and reactions.
Monica has a decade of clinical experience and holds an LCMHC, licensed in Utah. That background informs clear, paced work that matches each person's needs.
She pays attention to how identity, neurodiversity, and life transitions influence wellbeing. Sessions tend to focus on building skills, improving communication, and making sense of painful memories.
Monica emphasizes concrete steps people can use between sessions, such as coping exercises and communication practices. Her style is collaborative and respectful of each person's values.
People who choose Monica often want steady, straightforward guidance for real issues like grief, parenting stress, body image, ADHD challenges, or finding clarity after major life changes. She accepts English-speaking clients from inside and outside the United States.
How Monica’s Approaches Work Online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns shape feelings and reactions. It helps people notice connection and distance in relationships and learn new ways to relate. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions so people can test and change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and many daily stresses.Choosing the best approach is a shared process. Monica will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those aims. She adjusts tools over time based on what helps most and invites feedback during the work.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice and emotional work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging support brief updates, coping reminders, or ongoing reflection between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives while keeping the focus on practical progress.
