Monica Massengale, LIMHP

Monica Massengale is a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP) in Nebraska with six years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and abuse, depression, parenting strains, sleeping problems, anger, and related concerns. Monica frames therapy as practical support and skills teaching rather than labels. She emphasizes teaching tools clients can use outside sessions.

Monica draws from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, attachment-based work, and client-centered methods. She prefers short-term, goal-focused work that is kind and nonjudgmental. Sessions include practical strategies to notice and accept feelings, and to move forward with clearer thinking.

Her background includes time in hospice work, which shaped her comfort with grief and end-of-life concerns. Monica also worked nearly two years at an addiction and homeless services center, offering individual support and group work. She spent three years at a therapy agency working with survivors of abuse and with families.

In sessions she listens for the moments that bring understanding and then teaches skills to build on them. Monica describes therapy as collaborative - clients do the work and she helps guide and teach. She focuses on helping people see different perspectives and develop coping skills for daily life.

Monica notes that some experiences helped her refine what she most wants to do, including supporting people through grief and helping them find purpose after loss. She aims to help clients acknowledge feelings, recognize them as feelings not facts, and take steady steps toward goals.
