About Monika
Monika Scott-Rogers is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of experience helping people rebuild after painful or confusing life events. She frames therapy as a hands-on process where clients add new coping tools and slowly put the pieces back together. Monika emphasizes practical steps and clear goals rather than vague talk.
She practices in South Carolina and offers sessions in English. Her approach centers on the person in their daily life.
How Monika works
She uses client-centered methods to listen and respond to what matters most to each individual. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps with patterns of thought and behavior that fuel anxiety, depression, or anger. Mindfulness practices are used to steady attention and reduce reactivity in stressful moments.
Monika also draws on motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals and highlight strengths. These methods are useful for people facing life changes, work or parenting strain, relationship concerns, or difficulties with mood and stress. She aims to help clients leave sessions with at least one practical thing to try.
She works with a wide range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, grief, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and questions around sexual identity and relationship style. Additional focus areas include blended family issues, multicultural concerns, and coping with prejudice and discrimination. Her practice addresses both mood disorders and situational challenges.
Therapy sessions blend listening, skill teaching, and actionable planning. Monika invites committed people who want to experiment with new strategies and make steady progress. Her style is direct, supportive, and goal-oriented.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Monika commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shape online work. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and responding to each person's priorities so sessions focus on what feels most important. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy identifies unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and teaches concrete strategies to change them, which helps with anxiety, depression, anger, and mood problems.She also integrates Mindfulness Therapy when helpful, teaching simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation. Choosing the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist and client discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when internet bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer brief, flexible support between longer sessions or for people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
