About Monica
Monica Jha is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Tennessee with nine years of clinical experience. She works with adults who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, relationship strain, addiction, grief, or the slow erosion of self that comes from putting others first. She also supports people facing career shifts, parenting stress, and questions about identity and intimacy.
Her approach draws on practical, evidence-informed methods. Monica uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new behaviors. She also integrates mindfulness and trauma-focused techniques to help with strong emotions and past hurts.
Sessions focus on small, concrete steps rather than vague promises. Monica helps people name the patterns that keep them stuck, practice clearer communication, and develop boundaries that fit their life. She pays attention to how emotions show up in the body and offers tools to manage overwhelm in the moment.
Monica aims to help clients facing codependency-related patterns - like chronic people-pleasing, difficulty saying no, or getting lost in another person's problems - understand those patterns and build alternatives that feel doable. Therapy conversations also address abandonment, attachment concerns, guilt and shame, and midlife transitions.
She practices in Tennessee and conducts sessions in English. Monica asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session so they can begin by clarifying goals and practical next steps.
How sessions work
How Monica uses ACT, CBT, and mindfulness online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that match what matters to the client. It helps when someone feels stuck or avoids making changes despite wanting a different life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches practical skills for shifting those patterns. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful reactions in relationships. Mindfulness Therapy trains attention to notice emotions and physical sensations without getting swept away, which can reduce reactivity and support clearer decisions.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Monica treats the choice of method as collaborative. She and the client will discuss goals, try tools in session, and adjust methods based on what actually helps in day-to-day life.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. One practical benefit of online sessions is fitting therapy into a busy schedule with less travel time and easier ways to keep appointments around work or family obligations. Online conversations make it straightforward to practice skills between meetings, check in quickly when needed, and carry learning directly into everyday settings.
