Monica Jha, LPC

Monica Jha is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who provides online therapy to people across Tennessee. She focuses on helping adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward. Monica aims to make sessions straightforward and useful for daily life.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness, solution-focused techniques, and trauma-focused work. Monica uses simple, practical tools so clients can recognize patterns and try new ways of responding. Sessions often include skills practice, perspective shifts, and goal-focused steps.

Monica describes her style as compassionate and curious. She pays attention to thoughts, emotions, and everyday habits so people can build emotional clarity. When trauma is part of the picture she adapts the pace and uses approaches that focus on safety and gradual processing.

She often helps with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, addiction-related issues, and problems with self-esteem and boundaries. Other areas she supports include career concerns, life transitions, ADHD, and intimacy-related struggles. Monica also works with issues like abandonment, attachment, codependency, and midlife questions.

Therapy with her mixes skill-building and gentle exploration. Clients leave sessions with concrete next steps they can try between meetings. Monica invites people to bring what feels hard and confusing, and she offers steady guidance while they make changes.

How her approaches work in online therapy

CBT focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. In sessions clients learn to notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical experiments to shift responses, which can reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) uses acceptance and values-based action. It helps people make room for difficult feelings while choosing small steps that align with what matters, useful for life transitions, stress, and low mood.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Monica will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then adapt techniques over time. She combines short skill-based practice with gentle processing so the plan fits the client's pace and needs.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls are useful for deeper conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, focused feedback, or between-session support. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, family, and errand days while still working toward clear goals.
