About Monna
Monna Kendrick is an LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Kentucky with 15 years of experience. She has worked extensively in inpatient settings, including acute and residential care, and has supported people facing depression, anxiety, panic, grief, trauma, and relationship difficulties.
She helps individuals who are struggling with low self-esteem, addiction, anger, and challenges tied to life changes such as career transitions or parenting. She also works with people navigating ADHD, bipolar disorder, and other mood and personality concerns. Young adult issues are listed among her focus areas, so she is familiar with the pressures many 18–30 year olds face.
Her approach emphasizes listening and practical teaching. Sessions include active listening and discussion of coping strategies. She draws on methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and choose actions that match their values.
Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centered techniques appear in her work. That means she pays attention to relational patterns and centers the person’s own goals during sessions. Mindfulness practices may be used to manage anxiety and panic symptoms.
Monna’s background in inpatient care means she has experience with crisis-level mood and addiction concerns as well as routine therapeutic goals. People who are unsure what to expect can start by noting the specific problems they want to address and scheduling an initial meeting to talk about practical next steps.
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and feeling stuck when making life decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going, and then practicing new ways of thinking and acting to reduce symptoms like panic or low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to see which methods fit their goals and preferences. Sessions can start by discussing immediate concerns, trying a few techniques, and deciding together what to continue.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make fitting sessions into a busy schedule easier - for example shorter check-ins during a lunch break or avoiding travel time on workdays. It can also allow choosing session styles that suit a person’s needs, such as guided exercises for mindfulness practice or structured CBT worksheets during the meeting.
