Monica Jha , LPC

Monica Jha is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Tennessee who brings nine years of clinical experience to her work as a therapist and emotional clarity coach. She supports adults facing anxiety, stress, relationship and family challenges, trauma and abuse, grief, identity shifts, addictions, depression, ADHD, and the many transitions life brings. Monica blends a trauma-informed, integrative approach with practical skill-building so clients can better understand what drives their emotions and behaviors and develop tools for meaningful change.

Her practice emphasizes curiosity, compassion, and collaboration. Using evidence-based methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, solution-focused strategies, and trauma-focused interventions, she helps people reconnect with their values, reduce overwhelm, and strengthen relationships. Monica aims to address the whole person - thoughts, feelings, and daily functioning - rather than only treating symptoms.

Monica focuses on creating a steady, grounded space where adults can explore underlying patterns, build emotional clarity, and move toward greater confidence and connection. She works with a broad range of concerns including parenting and career pressures, intimacy-related issues, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue, always tailoring the approach to each person’s needs and goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Monica commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness-based techniques in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take committed action toward a more meaningful life while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that maintain distress and teaching practical strategies to shift those patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and grounding skills that reduce reactivity and improve present-moment awareness, which can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Monica collaborates with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they explore options and adapt techniques so therapy feels relevant and useful.

Online therapy with Monica is offered through multiple modalities - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - to increase flexibility and accessibility. These options allow people to engage in therapy from home or work, fit sessions into busy schedules, and maintain continuity of care when life is unpredictable, while working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor the experience to individual circumstances.
