Monya Holt, LMHC

Monya Holt is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, and life changes. She presents a calm, nonjudgmental approach that aims to make it easier to talk about hard topics and try new ways of coping.

She uses brief, action-oriented methods alongside client-centered listening. Sessions often include setting clear goals, trying small experiments between meetings, and talking through patterns that get in the way. That approach can help with substance use concerns, codependency, grief, intimacy issues, and career stress.

Monya has seven years of professional experience supporting people with co-occurring mental health and addiction concerns. She helps clients break problems into manageable steps and builds on strengths people already have. Motivational interviewing is used when people want help finding internal reasons to change.

Most work happens through virtual appointments, with Saturday availability and some weekday evening times after 5 PM Eastern Standard Time by arrangement. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging are all offered to fit different schedules and preferences.

Getting started is straightforward: a short matching questionnaire is completed, then sessions are scheduled based on therapist availability. Monya aims to create a respectful space where people can try new coping tools and move toward clearer goals.

Practical approaches online and how they help

Monya often uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. CBT-style work focuses on changing patterns that keep problems going and is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and some addiction-related thoughts.

She also draws on client-centered therapy to create a respectful space where people can talk without feeling judged. That approach prioritizes listening, reflecting what a person says, and building on the client's own goals and strengths. Motivational interviewing is used when someone wants help finding their own reasons to change; it looks at ambivalence and supports small, sustainable steps forward.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and comfort level rather than imposing a single method. This makes it easier to adjust as progress is made.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues for deeper conversation, phone calls can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and messaging allows ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats provide flexibility for evening and weekend scheduling and help fit therapy into busy lives.
