About Monica
Monica Garnett is an LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) and an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in California with three years of experience.

That mix supports emotional regulation, changing unhelpful thinking, improving communication, and clarifying next steps when someone feels stuck.
Monica also brings experience with addiction-related concerns and with supporting people through grief and major life changes. She aims to help clients regain a sense of control and steadier day-to-day functioning. Practical tools and short-term goals are common features of her approach.

How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and collaboration. It helps people feel heard and work through what matters to them most, such as anger or relationship tension.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. It provides practical techniques to notice unhelpful thinking and to try alternative responses when anger or anxiety flares.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. It’s useful for managing intense feelings and improving interpersonal effectiveness.
Monica treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will discuss goals, try brief experiments, and adjust methods based on what helps most. The choice of techniques comes from the client’s needs, preferences, and day-to-day realities.
