About Monica
Monica Davis is an Ohio licensed independent social worker (LISW) with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults on concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, parenting stress, and questions tied to family of origin issues.
She uses a mix of therapy approaches rather than a single technique. Sessions often include concrete tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. Mindfulness and acceptance-based work also appear in sessions when they fit the client’s goals.
Monica pays attention to attachment patterns and how early family roles can keep showing up in adult life. She talks through those patterns with clients and looks at how they affect current relationships, intimacy, and parenting. Conversations may include noticing thoughts and behavior patterns, trying small experiments, and practicing skills between sessions.
Her practice names multicultural concerns and identity-related topics as areas of focus. That means discussions may include how social stressors, prejudice, or identity concerns affect mood, relationships, and day-to-day coping. She also works with people facing grief, guilt, shame, or isolation.
Sessions balance practical skill building and reflective work. Monica and the person she’s working with set clear goals, track progress, and adjust methods as needed. People can expect straightforward conversation, skill practice, and attention to how family history shows up in current problems.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and motivation issues by encouraging committed action rather than getting stuck on trying to control every feeling. Attachment-Based Therapy examines patterns that formed in early relationships and how they influence current closeness and conflict. This approach helps people see recurring roles and practice new ways of relating to others. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation where the therapist follows the client’s lead and supports their own problem solving and insight.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Monica will collaborate with each person to identify which methods feel most useful for their goals. She adjusts techniques based on the client’s needs, preferences, and how problems change over time.
