About Monica

Monica Jha is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Tennessee who focuses on helping adults find greater emotional clarity and forward momentum. With nine years of clinical experience, she works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, and life transitions.

Background and approach

Monica also addresses issues such as self-esteem, intimacy-related problems, parenting challenges, career stress, compassion fatigue, and ADHD, along with related concerns like attachment wounds, codependency, commitment and communication struggles, and midlife questions. Her style blends trauma-informed care with an integrative toolkit that centers both curiosity and compassion.

Monica may draw on Internal Family Systems to explore inner parts, use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful patterns, and incorporate mindfulness and solution-focused strategies to build practical coping skills.

She frames therapy as a collaborative process that explores what lies beneath symptoms and supports clients in creating meaningful change that aligns with their values. Monica offers online sessions across Tennessee and works with clients to develop clearer emotional awareness, stronger coping strategies, and more intentional relationships.

Prospective clients who are ready to explore change can learn about scheduling and available times through the online intake and matching process.

How integrative approaches guide online therapy

Monica often integrates Internal Family Systems and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients understand internal conflicts and live in alignment with their values. Internal Family Systems explores the different 'parts' within a person and helps them relate to those parts with curiosity rather than judgment, which can be useful for wounds, shame, and recurring emotional patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while clarifying personal values to guide action, often helping with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work and is decided collaboratively. Monica will talk through goals, preferences, and what feels tolerable in sessions, then adapt techniques from these models to suit each client's needs and pace rather than insisting on a single method.

Online therapy with Monica is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase access and flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and use approaches like mindfulness or short coaching-style exchanges between longer sessions.
