Monica Davis

Monica Davis is an Ohio-licensed independent social worker who brings six years of clinical experience to therapy. She focuses on practical support for stress, anxiety, anger, depression, relationship concerns, and parenting challenges. Monica aims to create an inclusive, identity-affirming space where people feel respected and heard.

Her work blends several evidence-informed methods to match each person's needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and choose actions aligned with their values. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at relational patterns that shape feelings and behaviors.

Monica describes her approach as trauma-sensitive and culturally responsive. Sessions often include mindfulness exercises, reflective conversation, and experiential activities that help clients practice new skills. She pays attention to how life context and identity affect wellbeing and discusses these openly in session.

She has experience in community health centers and urban schools in Columbus, which informs a practical, down-to-earth style. Monica works with people facing grief, post-traumatic stress, sexual and intimacy concerns, ADHD, and issues like shame, isolation, and body image.

If someone is curious about beginning work with her, she encourages using a short matching questionnaire to find the right fit. The aim is a collaborative process that sets clear goals and builds tools for everyday life.

How Monica’s Methods Work in Online Therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people name what matters to them and take small, practical steps toward those values even when feelings are difficult. It is useful for anxiety, stress, anger, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing new ways of responding to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Monica will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She starts with goals and adjusts techniques as clients learn which tools help most in real life.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current online options before booking to know whether phone or video is available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let people practice skills in their usual routines and bring real-life moments into session for discussion and problem solving.
