About Monica
Monica Davis is an Ohio Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) with six years of clinical experience. She has worked in community health centers and urban schools, helping people manage anxiety, depression, relationship problems, trauma and grief. Monica lists young adult issues among her focuses and often helps people facing life transitions like school, work, and changing relationships.
Monica uses a mix of approaches rather than a single method. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered work. Sessions typically involve practical strategies, mindfulness exercises, and conversations about patterns in relationships and family of origin.
Her practice emphasizes identity-affirming care and attention to cultural and social context. Monica addresses challenges related to sexuality, prejudice and discrimination, and multicultural concerns alongside issues like body image, dissociation, and post-traumatic stress. She aims to help people build skills for managing distress and improving connections with others.
Work in sessions can include setting clear goals, learning coping tools, and trying experiential exercises to increase awareness. Monica often explores attachment patterns and how past relationships shape current ones. She also uses grounding and mindfulness techniques to help with overwhelming feelings and dissociation.
People who choose her work with someone who balances practical skill-building with reflective conversation. Monica encourages open dialogue about values, goals, and the effects of social identity on well-being. She asks clients to complete an initial matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to begin.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking steps toward them while learning to notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck. It can help with anxiety, avoidance, and making decisions during life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds influence current trust, intimacy, and conflict; it is useful for relationship concerns and understanding family of origin issues.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Monica will work with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, values, and day-to-day needs. Clients and therapist check in about what feels helpful and adjust strategies over time rather than sticking to a single method from the start.
The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and let people use audio-only when video would be difficult. Therapists can guide mindfulness or grounding exercises, teach DBT skills, and use ACT practices in remote sessions, all aimed at practical skill-building and coping that fit into everyday life.
