Monica Giuffre

Monica Giuffre is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on creating a steady, supportive space for people who are worried or overwhelmed. She frames therapy as a partnership and aims to be present, honest, and a calm guide during hard moments. Monica emphasizes listening first and then helping clients find practical steps they can try between sessions.

Monica draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people manage stress, anxiety, and depression. She also uses attachment-based and client-centered ideas to strengthen how people relate to themselves and others. Her practice includes work around addiction, grief, self-esteem, ADHD, and intellectual disability among other concerns.

Her style is interactive and down-to-earth. Sessions often involve talking through recent struggles, identifying small changes, and practicing skills that fit daily life. Monica values humor and creativity and aims for clear, honest conversation rather than jargon.

Monica has five years of counseling experience and holds an LPC credential in Texas. She welcomes conversations with people who need support through life changes, relationship stress, trauma, chronic health challenges, or caregiver strain. People are encouraged to decide with her what pacing and goals feel right.

To begin, she asks clients to complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule according to availability. This helps ensure initial sessions focus on immediate concerns and realistic next steps.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that reflect their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching simple practices to stay engaged in life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and offers concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and managing cravings or impulsivity. Attachment-Based Therapy centers on relationship patterns and how early connections shape current ways of relating; it can help people who struggle with trust, closeness, and communication.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Monica will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Together they set pacing, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps in day-to-day life.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow a quicker check-in between appointments. Some clients prefer phone check-ins when bandwidth is limited or need shorter meetings that fit a lunch break. The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking to match the format with your scheduling needs and comfort.
