About Monica
Monica Schneider is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Oregon with two decades of professional experience. She holds a doctorate in industrial psychology and brings a practical focus on career development to her work. Monica speaks plainly and aims to make it easier for people to take the first step toward change.
She helps people manage grief and the challenges that follow loss. She also supports clients facing depression, midlife transitions, and major life changes.
Background and approach
Concentration and memory concerns, including struggles linked to ADHD, are part of her areas of focus. Monica centers sessions on each person's own strengths and goals. She treats people as the experts on their life and offers guidance to help them move toward a more satisfying routine and sense of purpose.
Her style is supportive and straightforward rather than overly technical. With a background in industrial psychology, Monica often weaves practical career strategies into counseling when work stress or job decisions are involved. She also addresses caregiver stress, feelings of isolation, and issues such as obsessive thoughts or seasonal mood shifts.
Clients can expect conversations that balance listening with concrete steps to try between sessions. Monica encourages small, manageable changes and checks progress over time. Her approach aims to reduce overwhelm and build tools people can use in everyday life.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Monica uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and real-life problem solving. One common approach she draws on involves structured, goal-focused work that breaks larger problems into small, testable steps; this helps with depression, concentration, and getting unstuck at work. Another approach emphasizes grief-focused care that helps people process loss at a steady pace while rebuilding daily routines and meaning.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Monica listens to a person's history, goals, and how they respond to different strategies. Together they try methods for a few sessions and adjust based on what is most helpful and practical for the client's life.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet that can fit a busy schedule. Video calls let conversations feel closer to in-person sessions, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a commute or short break, and live chat or text-based messaging can support quick check-ins or ongoing reminders between appointments. These options make it simpler to keep momentum while balancing work, caregiving, or other obligations.
