About Monica
Monica Connell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Colorado with four years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are feeling stressed, anxious, depressed, overwhelmed by life changes, or worn down by caregiving, work demands, or relationship patterns. Monica also addresses trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, codependency, ADHD, and struggles with self-esteem and purpose.
She aims to help people who keep putting others first and who want clearer boundaries and more agency. Sessions begin by listening to what feels most urgent. Monica reflects back what she hears and helps clients name patterns that keep them stuck.
Her approach emphasizes looking for root causes and practical steps. Monica collaborates with each person to set achievable goals. Together they build a plan that focuses on manageable changes and skills for daily life.
Monica uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques suited to the concern at hand. She guides conversations about past wounds and current reactions, while also teaching coping tools for stress, anxiety, and anger. Work may include learning communication skills, boundary setting, and strategies for managing overwhelm.
She offers daytime and evening hours and asks people to use the booking flow to match and schedule a first session. Monica’s practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English and she sees clients in Colorado.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Monica uses evidence-based techniques to address symptoms and patterns. One common approach focuses on understanding how past hurts affect current reactions; sessions look at specific memories and how they shape behavior today, which can help with trauma responses and relationship patterns. Another approach teaches concrete coping skills for anxiety, stress, and anger, such as breath work, grounding exercises, and step-by-step plans to manage overwhelm and improve daily functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Monica treats this as a collaborative process and will help clients figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. She starts with listening and then suggests techniques that match what the person wants to change or learn.
The practical benefits of working online should make fitting therapy into everyday life easier. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how she is offering sessions now. Online sessions can reduce travel time, allow appointments during lunch or evening hours, and make it simpler to keep regular check-ins when life is busy. They also let people choose formats that suit their energy levels, such as shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or longer sessions when more processing is needed.
