About Monica

Monica Davis is a licensed independent social worker (LISW) based in Ohio who focuses on attachment-based work and related approaches. She brings six years of clinical experience from community health centers and urban schools. Monica aims to create an accepting space where clients can look at patterns that shape relationships and emotional life.

She uses attachment-based ideas to help people notice how early and current connections affect their reactions and relationships.

Background and approach

Her sessions also draw on acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and client-centered methods to help people develop useful skills and clearer values. Monica pays attention to trauma, identity, and culture when planning care. She offers identity-affirming support for people who face prejudice or discrimination and addresses issues like grief, PTSD, dissociation, and family of origin concerns.

She also works with stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and concerns about intimacy, sexuality, and body image. Therapy sessions focus on practical steps and emotional learning. Monica uses mindfulness, experiential activities, and conversations about life stories to build insight and new coping strategies.

She emphasizes collaboration and respects each person’s pace and goals. Her practice includes several session formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Clients can expect a straightforward process for getting started, goal-setting, and checking progress over time.

Online support

How online therapy and attachment-informed approaches fit together

Monica draws on attachment-based therapy to help people notice how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. That work looks at patterns of connection and helps people experiment with new ways of relating to themselves and others.

She also uses acceptance and commitment therapy, which focuses on values and small committed actions to move toward a meaningful life. ACT can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by teaching practical steps to act in line with personal values.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Monica collaborates with each person to match methods to goals, needs, and preferences rather than using a single style for everyone. Together they check what helps and adjust the plan as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules. Video calls allow longer, face-to-face conversations and visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support shorter check-ins, skill practice, and asynchronous communication between full sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or school commitments while keeping the focus on steady progress.
