About Monica
Monica Giuffre is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with five years of practice. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, coping with life changes, relationship and family concerns, grief, self-esteem, and ADHD. Monica aims to give straightforward, practical help for everyday problems.
Clients can expect a conversational, interactive style that emphasizes noticing thoughts and testing new behaviors. She uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and attachment-based ideas to guide sessions. The work is collaborative - the client and Monica set goals together and try small, concrete steps between meetings.
Monica’s background includes direct counseling work across a range of concerns listed above and additional focus areas like attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, commitment and communication problems, dissociation, substance addiction, guilt and shame, impulsivity, and intellectual disability. She draws on client-centered and existential perspectives when exploring meaning and values.
Sessions are practical and task-oriented. Monica will help identify unhelpful thought patterns, test new ways of responding, and build routines that support daily functioning. Homework and short experiments are often part of the plan so progress can be tracked between sessions.
Monica works in English and accepts international clients. She practices in Texas as an LPC and asks prospective clients to complete an intake questionnaire and schedule a first appointment to begin the process.
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Monica works from methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in most sessions. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to see what works. ACT emphasizes clarifying values and committing to actions that reflect those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear.She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape patterns of reacting and relating. That can help when communication problems, commitment issues, or family-related stress recur. Finding the right approach is part of the work; she and the client decide together which methods to try based on goals and preferences.
The practical benefit of online work is fitting sessions into everyday life. Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what to expect. Online sessions can make it easier to keep appointments around work or caregiving, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so homework and experiments fit into the same day.
