About Monica
Monica Purvis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, and relationship strains. She offers calm, practical support for everyday problems like anger, depression, and feeling stuck. Monica writes straightforward plans so parents can try new approaches between sessions.
She uses clear, down-to-earth techniques drawn from client-centered work and cognitive behavioral ideas. Sessions focus on what feels most pressing and on small steps that build confidence.
Background and approach
Monica listens for strengths and then helps people try different ways of responding to hard moments. For parenting concerns she breaks problems into manageable pieces. She helps parents find routines, set boundaries, and handle conflict in ways that reduce tension at home.
Guidance includes short-term strategies and ways to practice new patterns with children and teens. Monica brings 21 years of experience to her counseling. She has supported people through trauma, addiction, grief, and life transitions.
Her background includes work with adoption and foster care issues and attachment-related concerns. Her approach is collaborative and flexible. Clients set the goals and Monica offers tools that fit daily life.
She tends to use solution-focused methods when a quick plan helps, and trauma-focused techniques when past events keep getting in the way. Sessions are offered in English and are tailored to each person's pace. Monica is based in Georgia and keeps the conversation practical and results-oriented.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person and their goals. The therapist listens closely and mirrors what matters to the client, which helps people feel understood and figure out their own solutions. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and reduce anxiety or low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make counseling fit busy lives. Video works well when visual cues help the conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging can suit quick updates, brief problem-solving, or people who prefer typing. These options increase flexibility and make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, school, or parenting demands.
