About Monica
Monica Connell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW and LICSW with four years of practice in Colorado. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, anger, relationship and intimacy issues, and people navigating life changes. Monica sees clients in English and helps them figure out practical next steps.
She listens first and reflects back what she hears. That helps people feel understood and notice patterns in how they react. Monica looks at the root causes of what keeps someone stuck, then collaborates to set clear goals. Sessions focus on concrete plans that support daily life and reduce the burden of repeated problems.
Monica uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and coaching-style work to build momentum toward the client’s goals. She notes that repair from trauma is a process and that change often happens through repeated small steps. Her approach blends talk therapy with practical skills to manage feelings and behavior between sessions.
She also supports work-related concerns such as career stress and workplace issues, and addresses caregiver stress, compassion fatigue, and midlife transitions. Monica pays attention to attachment, abandonment, and patterns like codependency and impulsivity that affect relationships.
Sessions are shaped around what each person needs and a shared plan. Monica asks questions, offers reflections, and helps clients try new responses in everyday situations. Her practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and she does not take international clients.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions
Monica works from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on identifying patterns and building practical skills. One common approach she uses helps people track how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect, then practices alternative responses to reduce reactivity and anger. This method is useful for stress, anxiety, and impulsivity.Another approach centers on repairing the effects of trauma through repeated, paced work that strengthens a person's ability to tolerate difficult memories and feelings. That work aims to reduce overwhelming reactions and improve daily functioning over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Monica collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan as needed so sessions stay practical and focused.
