About Monica

Monica Davis is a licensed social worker in Ohio with six years of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma, and a wide range of life transitions. As an LISW - a Licensed Independent Social Worker - she has practiced in community health centers and urban schools in Columbus, developing skills in trauma-informed and culturally responsive care that honor each persons background and identity.

Her approach blends evidence-informed methods with healing-centered and liberation-focused perspectives, integrating mindfulness, somatic awareness, and attachment work to address issues like intimacy, family of origin difficulties, dissociation, and post-traumatic stress. Monica centers identity-affirming care and works to create an inclusive environment for people from marginalized communities, including LGBTQ clients and those navigating multicultural or intersectional concerns.

In therapy she emphasizes collaboration - building trust, setting meaningful goals, and exploring life stories and the many parts of a person in ways that feel right for them. She uses experiential activities, mindfulness practices, and skills-based work to help clients develop insight, resilience, and practical tools for coping. Monica also offers trauma-focused interventions tailored to individual needs and pace.

Please note that Monica is currently navigating a recent family loss and will be traveling in the coming weeks, which may temporarily affect typical availability.

Integrating therapeutic approaches for online care

Monica integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into her online work to meet different needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and learning acceptance and mindful action so clients can make meaningful choices even when difficult feelings arise - it is often helpful for stress, anxiety, and navigating life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns of relating that develop from early relationships, helping people improve intimacy, family interactions, and connection in current relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical strategies for symptoms of anxiety, depression, and everyday coping challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Monica collaborates with each person to identify which methods align with their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and she adjusts the plan as progress and needs evolve. This collaborative stance supports tailored care that fits the individual rather than a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy with licensed professionals and therapists offers flexibility and accessibility, allowing people to engage in sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, manage caregiving or work responsibilities, and maintain continuity of care while traveling or during life transitions.
