About Monica

Monica Jones is an LPC practicing in Louisiana who brings a decade of clinical experience to work with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions.

She centers her work on collaboration and respect for each person’s knowledge about their own life, encouraging clients to build on their existing strengths while addressing challenges such as trauma, grief, anger, career concerns, and mood conditions like bipolar disorder.

Her practice integrates several therapeutic perspectives to meet varied needs, drawing from Internal Family Systems alongside evidence-based approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Monica emphasizes a supportive, client-centered stance that aims to increase motivation, confidence, and coping skills.

She also attends to related concerns including attachment and abandonment issues, body image and eating-related problems, caregiver stress, family-of-origin conflicts, and experiences of domestic violence and divorce.

She offers multiple online session formats to fit different schedules and preferences, and she frames the first step of reaching out as a courageous move toward a more satisfying life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care



Internal Family Systems (IFS) views the mind as made up of different parts, helping clients identify internal voices and roles and learn how those parts can work together more harmoniously. This approach can be useful for processing trauma, managing strong emotions, and improving internal leadership. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and building psychological flexibility, teaching practical skills to live a meaningful life while managing symptoms like anxiety and depression. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relational patterns formed early in life and helps clients develop healthier ways of relating to others and to themselves, which can aid in repairing relationship difficulties and attachment wounds.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Monica emphasizes a collaborative process. She will discuss goals, preferences, and practical needs to tailor which methods to use and how to combine them for each client’s circumstances.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy lives or access care from different locations within Louisiana. These formats allow ongoing work on coping skills, behavioral changes, and emotional processing while accommodating varied schedules and communication styles.
