About Monica
Monica Giuffre is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with five years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, life changes, relationship and family concerns, grief, self-esteem struggles, and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Her approach supports people navigating the pressures of early adulthood through direct, practical conversation.
Monica draws on several therapy methods to match how a person prefers to work. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and try small behavior changes. Attachment-Based and client-centered work look at how relationships shape current feelings and choices. Existential ideas come in when people face big questions about meaning or direction.
Sessions tend to be interactive and straightforward. Monica aims to help people set realistic goals, practice skills between sessions, and check what is or isn’t working. She includes humor and honesty when appropriate, and keeps the focus on practical steps rather than jargon.
Her background includes hands-on counseling with a range of concerns related to addiction, grief, chronic health issues, and developmental differences such as autism and intellectual disability. Those experiences inform how she adapts conversations and pacing for different needs.
Monica offers services in English and accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, identify values, and practice small changes that align with what matters to them. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thinking patterns and trying concrete behavior experiments to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. This approach is practical and homework-focused. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships affect emotions and reactions. It can be useful for people working through connection, trust, or communication issues.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative step. Monica will talk with each person about needs, goals, and preferences, and try methods that fit those priorities. Adjustments are made as progress and feedback guide the work, so the process feels like ongoing calibration rather than a fixed plan.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days - for example, offering quicker check-ins, removing travel time, or making it simpler to try a session during a lunch break. Therapists generally find these approaches adapt well to remote conversations, and the focus remains on practical skills, relationship patterns, and planning steps that can be practiced between meetings.
