About Monica

Monica Purvis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, parenting strain, relationship troubles, and trauma and abuse. She focuses on practical steps that reduce overwhelm and help clients regain steady footing. Her approach is straightforward and aimed at everyday life needs.

Monica spends sessions listening closely and shaping therapy around each person's priorities. She uses client-centered conversations to understand what matters most, then brings in tools from cognitive behavioral and solution-focused approaches. This means clients often work on clear, doable goals and learn skills they can use between sessions.

Her work also covers addiction, anger, self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, career stress, and changes like divorce or blended family transitions. Monica addresses specific themes such as abandonment, attachment concerns, communication problems, and feelings of isolation or shame. She helps people sort complicated emotions and make gradual changes.

With 21 years of experience in counseling, Monica aims to make therapy a practical part of daily life rather than an abstract process. Sessions tend to be collaborative and focused on what the client wants to change first. She encourages small experiments and regular check-ins to track progress.

Monica works in Georgia and conducts sessions in English. People who are dealing with compassion fatigue, ADHD, or life transitions may find her mix of supportive listening and skill-building useful. To begin, readers should confirm current session options before booking.

How Monica’s Approaches Work Online

Monica blends client-centered care with cognitive behavioral and trauma-focused methods to address immediate problems and deeper patterns. Client-centered work means sessions start with the client's priorities and build a safe space for honest conversation. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms.

Trauma-focused therapy helps people process painful experiences and reduce their ongoing impact on daily life. These methods can be used together so clients both feel heard and learn concrete skills. Monica treats figuring out the right mix as a team effort and will adjust methods based on each person's needs, goals, and preferences.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce time spent traveling, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Because the therapist's session formats are not specified here, confirm the current online and in-person options before booking. Monica aims to help clients find a rhythm that fits their schedule and daily responsibilities, while working toward clear, practical goals.
