About Monna
Monna Kendrick is a Kentucky LPCC with 15 years of clinical experience. She has worked mainly in inpatient acute and residential settings since 2013. She helps people who are struggling with depression, anxiety, panic, anger, grief, and relationship stress.
She has supported people from many backgrounds and life circumstances. Her work has included people with mood disorders, addictions, ADHD, and those facing major life transitions. She also has experience with aging and geriatric issues, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and veteran-related matters.
Her approach centers on listening and teaching practical skills. She uses acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, attachment-based ideas, and client-centered methods. Sessions focus on clear, usable strategies rather than jargon.
In sessions she prioritizes helping people recognize patterns that keep anger and anxiety cycling. She works on realistic goal-setting, behavior changes, and skills for handling difficult moments. She also addresses communication problems and building better day-to-day coping tools.
People who choose her can expect straightforward conversation and practical exercises. She encourages active participation, with attention to what fits into each person’s life. The emphasis is on learning approaches that can be used between sessions.
Her background in inpatient care informs how she manages crisis-prone or complex situations. That experience shapes her focus on safety planning, structured coping steps, and gradual skill-building over time.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Monna draws on acceptance and commitment therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her online work. Acceptance and commitment therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and it often focuses on identifying personal values and committed action. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps spot thought patterns that fuel anger or depression and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful behaviors.She also uses mindfulness techniques to build moment-to-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. These practices can help with panic, stress, and persistent irritability by offering short grounding tools to use when emotions rise. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work; she collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and day-to-day life.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as they are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to schedule brief check-ins, fit sessions into a lunch break, or reduce travel time. It also allows practicing skills in real-life settings and reviewing how strategies transfer into everyday routines.
