About Monica
Monica Williams is a licensed independent social worker (LISW) based in Ohio with seven years of clinical experience. She earned a Master of Social Work from the University of Cincinnati in 2018 and has focused much of her practice on addiction and mental health care. Monica aims to give people practical tools and steady support when life feels overwhelming.
She works in a direct, down-to-earth way while staying compassionate. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals and small, achievable steps.
Background and approach
Monica helps people build self-esteem, handle anxiety and depression, and manage stress and trauma-related symptoms. Her work includes helping people with substance use concerns, compulsive behaviors, and the emotional fallout those issues bring. She also addresses struggles such as low self-worth, anger, emptiness, and relationship difficulties like communication problems and attachment wounds.
Monica draws on clinical approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness practices, client-centered work, and Systemic Therapy to guide conversations. She uses these methods to help people notice patterns, try new behaviors, and reconnect with what matters to them. People who prefer straightforward guidance and practical tools may find her style helpful.
Monica encourages collaboration - she listens, gives honest feedback, and helps set steps to practice between sessions. Her aim is to help people gain skills they can use in day-to-day life.

Online support
How Monica’s Approaches Work Online
Monica commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify their values and take small steps toward them even when feelings are hard. ACT helps with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by focusing on action that matters rather than on eliminating every difficult thought or feeling.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers sessions on the person’s experience and pace. That approach helps people feel heard and understood while they name goals and try new ways of handling problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is another tool she draws on to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice different behaviors for mood, anxiety, and addiction concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and Monica works collaboratively to figure out what fits. She will discuss options, try strategies together, and adjust methods based on the client’s needs, goals, and comfort level.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video works well for longer, more interactive sessions. Phone can be useful when bandwidth is low or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging offer shorter touchpoints and written reflections between meetings. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and maintain momentum between sessions.
