About Monica
Monica Connell welcomes people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or life changes. She helps individuals who are worn down by depression, relationship or intimacy struggles, anger, or low self-esteem. Monica writes plainly and listens closely to understand each person's concerns.
She works with trauma and abuse, including post-traumatic stress, and helps people who feel stuck by past hurts. Monica also supports those managing workplace strain, caregiver stress, compassion fatigue, and questions about life purpose or midlife shifts.
How Monica works
She provides coaching-style support for career concerns and attention-related challenges such as ADHD. Monica frames therapy as a collaborative process. She reflects what she hears, looks for root causes, and helps clients set a shared purpose for their work together.
From there she helps create a practical plan that aligns with each person's goals. Her approach pays attention to attachment and abandonment wounds, codependency, and communication problems. She also addresses issues like isolation, guilt, shame, impulsivity, and feelings of emptiness.
Aging and geriatric issues and family-related stresses are part of her focus areas as well. Monica holds the credentials LCSW, CSW, and LICSW and practices in Colorado. She brings four years of experience to her work and offers appointments at different times of day to fit a variety of schedules.

Online support options
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Monica uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person's needs. One common approach focuses on processing trauma and wounds through gradual, paced work that helps lessen the hold of painful memories and reduce symptoms like hypervigilance or avoidance. Another approach centers on skill-building for managing anxiety, stress, and attention challenges by teaching practical tools for coping, emotion regulation, and problem solving.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Monica partners with clients to choose methods that match their goals and comfort level. She discusses options, tries techniques together, and adjusts the plan based on progress and feedback so the process feels collaborative.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging offer flexible ways to share thoughts between sessions and fit therapy into a busy schedule.
