About Monica
Monica Rawlings is a licensed clinical mental health counselor who helps people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and relationship strain. She speaks plainly and listens closely to understand what matters most to each person. Her style is warm and patient and focused on practical steps that fit into daily life.
Monica uses a mix of approaches based on what a person needs. She draws on client-centered work to follow the client’s pace and on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current struggles.
Background and approach
She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to address intense emotions, worry, and unhelpful thinking patterns. Clients often come for help with grief, body image, stress at work, parenting challenges, and major life changes like divorce or relocation. She also supports people experiencing panic, OCD, PTSD, and the effects of past abuse.
Monica pays special attention to concerns around identity and neurodiversity, and she aims to be affirming for LGBT people. Her work emphasizes small, tangible changes. Sessions may include learning coping skills, practicing different ways to talk about problems, and trying new behaviors between meetings.
The pace is set by the client, with focused tools offered when someone is ready to use them. Monica has ten years of clinical experience and holds the LCMHC credential. She practices from Utah and offers services to people in other places as well.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online
Monica draws on client-centered therapy to make room for each person’s story, offering steady listening and responses that follow the client’s lead. This approach helps people clarify goals and feel heard before moving into skills work.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete techniques to change them. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, OCD, and many stress-related problems by breaking larger issues into manageable steps.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Monica will work with the client to identify priorities, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan based on what helps. The aim is a practical, shared path forward rather than a one-size-fits-all solution.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy lives. Video calls let therapists and clients work face-to-face when helpful; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging provide ongoing support between sessions or a lower-intensity way to process thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, caregiving, or long-distance situations while still using attachment, CBT, or other methods to address core concerns.
