About Monica
Monica Jha is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Tennessee with nine years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, low self-esteem, life changes, and related concerns. Monica also addresses trauma, grief, addiction issues, and challenges around intimacy and parenting.
She describes her approach as integrative and trauma-informed. That means she pays attention to how past experiences affect current reactions. Sessions commonly include practical skills and reflective work to help people notice patterns and try new responses.
Monica uses a mix of proven methods to match what a person needs. You may encounter mindfulness exercises, cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, solution-focused steps, or trauma-informed interventions. She aims to help people build clarity about their emotions and choices rather than offering quick fixes.
In a session Monica helps clients name what is happening, practice small skills, and plan steps to test in daily life. She focuses on clear, doable strategies for managing anger, stress, and impulsive reactions, alongside deeper reflection about patterns like attachment, control, or abandonment fears.
Her background supports work with a wide range of adult concerns including career stress, midlife questions, and compassion fatigue. Monica offers online sessions across Tennessee and works in English. To start, readers are encouraged to use the site matching steps to schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that reflect personal values. It can help when anger or avoidance get in the way of what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns into small parts so people can try different responses and measure what changes. It is useful for anger, anxiety, and mood shifts. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple awareness skills to reduce reactivity and improve attention to the present moment.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Monica will discuss which methods match a person's goals and preferences. She adjusts tools as sessions progress so the plan fits the client's needs rather than sticking to a single method.

They also allow short check-ins or longer therapeutic work depending on what someone needs and the chosen format.
