About Monica

Monica Rawlings is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in Utah who helps people facing low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She speaks plainly and meets clients where they are. Monica emphasizes compassion and practical steps so people feel more capable between sessions.

Monica focuses on building self-love and clearer communication. She supports people working through grief, body image concerns, attachment issues, workplace stress, and big life changes like divorce or midlife transitions. She also sees clients coping with trauma, addiction, panic, OCD, and PTSD symptoms.

Her style is collaborative and person-centered. Monica listens for each person's values and goals, then works alongside them to try out new ways of thinking and behaving. She uses tools drawn from cognitive behavioral approaches and attachment-informed work to make change feel manageable.

Monica brings particular sensitivity to Neurodivergent experiences and to LGBTQ+ identities. She aims to create an affirming, nonjudgmental space so clients can speak honestly about identity and cultural concerns. She also supports people dealing with chronic illness and caregiver stress.

With ten years of clinical experience, Monica combines practical skill with steady support. She encourages small, concrete steps that add up over time. If someone wants clearer boundaries, better self-regard, or relief from overwhelming emotions, she helps design a plan that fits their life.

How Monica’s Approaches Can Work Online

Monica draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to focus on how past relationship patterns shape current feelings and behavior. This approach helps people who struggle with trust, closeness, or fears of abandonment recognize patterns and practice new ways of relating.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the person's experience and priorities. In sessions she listens carefully, reflects what she hears, and helps clients set goals that feel meaningful to them. This approach is useful when someone needs a steady, nonjudging space to sort through identity, values, or self-esteem concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Monica will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts interventions so they fit a client’s pace and life circumstances rather than forcing a single method.

For practical matters, confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or medical appointments. It also allows for shorter check-ins when needed and avoids travel time, which can help therapy be more consistent. Licensed professionals can tailor session length and focus to make progress feel workable within everyday life.
