About Monica
Monica Krechman-Foreman is an Ohio LPCC with 29 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, depression, and major life changes. She works in English and draws on several evidence-informed approaches to guide sessions.
Monica uses clear, goal-focused conversation to notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions often focus on small, practical steps to reduce worry, manage mood swings, or interrupt addictive patterns. She also listens for relationship patterns that make daily life harder and helps people try different ways of responding.
Her work integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to identify thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going. She pairs that with client-centered listening to make sure the plan matches what each person actually wants to change. Mindfulness strategies are used when learning to notice stress reactions without reacting automatically.
Solution-focused tools are introduced to find immediate, manageable changes that fit into a busy life. This can include short experiments between sessions, rehearsing new responses, or building simple daily routines. Monica explains each option plainly and checks how it feels in practice.
Her approach is practical and straightforward. She helps people set measurable goals and track progress over time. To begin, she asks about current concerns, what has helped before, and what small changes a person is ready to try.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Monica commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that fuel anxiety, low mood, or addictive urges. CBT sessions online can include structured exercises, thought records, and action plans to try between appointments.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and reflecting so goals come from the person in the room. That approach helps shape a plan that matches values and daily realities. Mindfulness Therapy is used to build attention skills and reduce automatic reactions; short guided practices may be included to practice noticing thoughts and body signals.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Monica will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped before, and then suggest practical steps to try. The plan is adjusted based on what the person experiences in practice.
Session format details should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list specific online formats. Ask about the available session types when you complete the matching questionnaire. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time.
