Monica Krechman-Foreman, LPCC

Monica Krechman-Foreman is a licensed professional counselor (LPCC) in Ohio with 29 years of experience. She focuses on practical help for people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, depression, and major life changes.

Her approach starts with respect and a calm, nonjudgmental tone. She listens first, then works with each person to shape a plan that fits their life and goals. Sessions are straightforward and aimed at small, achievable changes.

Monica uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also draws on client-centered and solution-focused ideas to keep conversations grounded in what matters most to the individual.

Mindfulness techniques are offered when they fit a person's needs, helping with stress management and grounding during anxious moments. Monica adapts methods to the situation rather than pushing a single style on everyone.

She has worked across many concerns over nearly three decades, including postpartum depression, panic attacks, substance use, midlife issues, seasonal mood shifts, and communication problems. Sessions aim to build skills that make daily life easier and relationships clearer.

Monica invites people to take the first step and says seeking help is an act of courage. She supports clients through steady, practical guidance as they work toward clearer thinking and better coping.

Practical approaches for online therapy and change

Monica often uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence to change reactions and behavior. This approach can help with anxiety, mood difficulties, panic, and patterns that keep problems recurring.

She also uses client-centered methods that prioritize the person's own goals and pace. That means conversations start with listening and building trust, and the therapist follows the client's lead while offering guidance and reflections.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Monica will work with each person to decide whether CBT, client-centered work, mindfulness practices, or solution-focused techniques best match their needs and goals. Changes are made together as progress and preferences become clear.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, giving options for different routines and comfort levels. Video lets people work face to face, phone can be used when bandwidth is limited, short check-ins work well by text, and live chat fits those who prefer typed conversation. These choices help make therapy fit day-to-day life and schedules.
