01 · Who Monica works with
Monica lists 5 specialisms. Specialisms are the subjects Monica chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.
02 · In Monica's own words
Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
My name is Monica and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. My primary experience is in working with individuals who struggle with trauma, grief, anxiety, and adjustment. I help by providing a warm, welcoming, and accepting environment as we explore your story and daily struggles through a lens of curiosity while extending grace, kindness, and self-compassion. In doing this, we work together to identify core beliefs and values, behavioral patterns, emotional reactions, effective coping tools, and how we can identify and meet your goals. I understand that seeking help can be challenging and bring up lots of emotions so I’m proud of you for taking this step. In our first few sessions, you can expect to share about your primary concerns, your expectations for therapy, current coping or what you’ve tried in the past, and set some goals that align with your values. I am passionate about this work because I know how powerful it is for people to be able to freely tell their stories, their struggles, and their heart’s desires with someone who can listen non-judgmentally, extend compassion, and say “I see you, and you are capable.” I offer a free consultation to see if we are a good fit for your needs and goals.

03 · What happens next
Monica practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Monica's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Monica at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Monica is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Monica.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
04 · Before you commit
Built from what Monica actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Monica's - Monica has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.
“How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”
Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.
“How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”
On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.
