More about Monica
- 11 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who has worked professionally in Indiana for the past 11 years. Throughout my career, I have specialized in working with kids, especially teenagers, and families. I also have experience working with clients who identify as LGBTQAI+.
My expertise lies in helping clients who have experienced depression, stress, anxiety, trauma, abuse, parenting and family issues, motivation, self esteem, and confidence challenges. I believe in treating everyone with dignity, respect, sensitivity, and compassion and believe all humans are deserving of these basic rights. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs, and will always work within a client-centered approach. It takes courage to face all parts of ourselves, and to work towards becoming the best versions of ourselves.
Change is hard, and I consider it an immense honor to walk with you on your path towards self-love, contentment and happiness. I am here to support and empower you in your journey-whatever that may be.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
