About Monica
Monica Jha is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who supports adults working through stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and parenting challenges. She practices online across Tennessee and aims to help people find clearer direction when life feels overwhelming or stuck. She keeps sessions practical and grounded.
Monica uses straightforward tools to help clients notice patterns, manage intense feelings, and make small changes that add up. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person in front of her and on steps they can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Her approach blends cognitive behavioral ideas with acceptance-based and mindfulness practices. That means clients learn to notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them, while also taking meaningful action toward their values. Monica also brings trauma-focused strategies when past hurt affects day-to-day life.
She works with people facing life transitions, identity questions, addiction concerns, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and family tensions. Monica pays attention to attachment, communication, and impulse-related struggles that often underlie repeated problems. Clients can expect a calm, curious style that balances empathy with practical coaching.
Monica helps people build emotional clarity and realistic coping skills so they can feel more confident and connected in daily life.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small committed steps even when feelings are difficult. It is useful for anxiety, life transitions, and finding direction when things feel vague. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on understanding unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and testing small changes to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple practices to notice thoughts and bodily sensations so emotional reactions become easier to manage.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Monica will discuss goals and preferences and may combine elements from these methods to fit what the client needs. The plan shifts as progress is made so the work stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy parents and adults juggling work and family. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can be used for brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a weekly routine and to use techniques in real time during daily life.
