About Monica
Monica Turner Lowery is a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) and a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Mississippi with 17 years of experience. She works with adults on relationship and family issues, intimacy concerns, low self-esteem, depression, stress, and anxiety. She also addresses codependency and related patterns such as people-pleasing and trouble asserting boundaries.
Her approach is practical and collaborative. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to help clients notice what matters to them and make small changes that align with their values. Sessions focus on clear skills, real-life examples, and gradual shifts rather than abstract theory.
Monica pays attention to how attachment patterns and family dynamics shape current behavior. She helps people untangle repeating patterns, work through guilt or shame, and set clearer boundaries in relationships. Conversations often cover communication, commitment concerns, and recovering from infidelity or separation.
She also supports people dealing with blended family challenges, caregiver stress, immigration-related stress, and questions about life purpose. Therapy can include looking at control issues, forgiveness work, and ways to rebuild a sense of agency after hard experiences.
Monica works in English and practices across Mississippi. Her sessions are a collaboration: she listens, offers practical tools, and helps people choose what to try next. To begin, clients follow the site's matching and scheduling steps to set a first appointment.
How sessions work
How her approaches shape online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what they value and take actions that align with those values. It’s useful for anxiety, depression, and situations where someone feels stuck in old patterns. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back a person’s experience so they can better understand themselves. This approach supports building self-esteem and clearer decision making. Motivational Interviewing is a brief, practical method that helps people find internal motivation to change specific behaviors or habits.Monica treats finding the right approach as a joint process. She will discuss which methods match a person’s goals and preferences. Together they check how a strategy is working and adjust it based on real-life results and feedback.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy week easier, such as shorter check-ins on a workday or sessions that remove travel time. It can also allow for flexible scheduling when caregiving or other responsibilities make in-person visits harder. Licensed professionals and therapists use these practical benefits to help therapy fit into everyday life rather than adding extra strain.
