About Monica
Monica Giuffre is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, ADHD, and life changes. Monica aims to make therapy a calm, straightforward place to talk through problems and find next steps.
Monica brings five years of clinical experience and a warm, down-to-earth manner. She listens first and helps people set realistic goals. Sessions are collaborative - she partners with each person to try new ways of managing thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
Background and approach
Her approach blends practical skills with deeper exploration. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify patterns that keep problems going. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports values-based change and managing unwanted feelings without getting stuck.
Attachment-Based and client-centered ideas shape how she builds trust and connection in sessions. Monica values honesty, creativity, and a bit of humor when it helps people move forward. She aims to make therapy feel useful and understandable rather than complicated.
Monica also draws on existential and psychodynamic perspectives when helpful, to look at meaning, identity, and past influences. She supports people coping with chronic health issues, caregiver stress, body image concerns, impulsivity, and other practical life stresses. Her goal is steady, real-world progress tailored to each person’s needs.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Monica commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. ACT focuses on identifying personal values and taking small actions toward them while learning to notice painful thoughts without letting them control actions. CBT looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms.She also brings client-centered and attachment-informed perspectives into remote work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and following the person’s pace. Attachment ideas help address patterns in relationships and how they affect emotions and trust. Together these approaches help tailor work to each person’s history and goals in a collaborative way.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different needs. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skill practice. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera isn’t desired. Live chat and messaging offer brief check-ins and ongoing support between scheduled sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or health demands while letting licensed professionals provide consistent, focused care.
