Monica Jha, LPC

Monica Jha is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps adults in Tennessee navigate stress, anxiety, relationship troubles, grief, and major life changes. She works with people feeling stuck, disconnected, or overwhelmed and offers a steady, practical space to talk through what’s under the surface. Monica has nine years of experience supporting clients through emotional overwhelm, identity shifts, and addiction-related concerns.

She uses clear, straightforward methods to build emotional clarity and coping skills. Monica draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness, solution-focused tools, and trauma-informed techniques to match the work to each person’s needs. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client and on small, achievable steps toward feeling better.

Monica emphasizes compassion and curiosity rather than quick fixes. She helps people notice patterns, practice new responses, and reconnect with values and purpose. Her work often includes attention to how relationships and family dynamics affect day-to-day life.

Clients can expect concrete tools for managing anxiety, impulsivity, anger, and low self-esteem, alongside space to process trauma, grief, and identity concerns. Monica also addresses aging and geriatric issues as part of life transition work, helping clients make sense of shifting roles and priorities.

To begin, clients follow a short matching process and schedule sessions according to availability. Monica practices in Tennessee and conducts sessions in English.

How Monica’s approaches translate to online work

Many of her methods adapt well to conversation-based care. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and practice small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and depressive patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values, accepting difficult feelings, and taking committed steps toward a meaningful life. Mindfulness-based techniques teach simple attention and breathing practices to reduce emotional reactivity and build calm.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Monica will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before choosing tools to try. Together they check in on what feels useful and adjust the plan over time so it fits day-to-day needs.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with Monica about what works best for timing and session length so therapy can be integrated into regular life.
