Monica Massengale, LIMHP

Monica Massengale is a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP) in Nebraska with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on common struggles like stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship and family concerns, and codependency. Monica uses clear, practical methods to help people notice unhelpful patterns and learn skills that make daily life easier.

Monica prefers straightforward, goal-focused work. Sessions center on listening, reflection, and skill building. She encourages clients to name what matters to them and then practices small steps toward those values. She works with trauma, sleep problems, parenting strain, ADHD, anger, and compassion fatigue among other concerns.

Her background includes nearly two years at an addiction and homeless services center where she led groups and supported people facing substance use and housing instability. She also volunteered in a hospice setting for about a year, providing support to people at end of life and their families. That experience shaped how she talks about grief, loss, and caregiving stress.

Monica spent three years at a therapy agency working with survivors of abuse, families, and children, using trauma-focused approaches to help manage symptoms and build coping skills. She left to balance work with family life and to focus on the kinds of clinical work that fit her interests.

In session she listens without judgment and helps people consider different perspectives. She uses evidence-based tools such as cognitive strategies, mindfulness, acceptance work, attachment-focused thinking, and solution-focused steps. Clients who want clear guidance and practical exercises may find this approach helpful.
