Monica Giuffre, LPC

Monica Giuffre is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and life transitions. She takes a steady, down-to-earth approach and aims to be a calm presence while clients talk through what’s most pressing for them.

She uses practical, evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to address patterns of thinking and behavior. Sessions focus on small, doable changes and skills that can be used between appointments. Monica also draws on attachment-based and client-centered approaches to strengthen emotional understanding and connection.

Monica has worked in counseling for five years. Her background includes supporting people dealing with trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and communication problems, ADHD, and chronic health challenges. She also helps with issues like body image, caregiver stress, impulsivity, and addiction concerns.

Her style is interactive and collaborative. She invites clients to set clear goals and practices concrete techniques together during sessions. Humor and honesty are part of how she builds trust and keeps work practical.

Monica works with English-speaking clients and accepts international clients. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on availability.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Monica frequently uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to ease anxiety, depression, and addictive patterns. CBT sessions often include step-by-step exercises and homework to practice skills between appointments.

She also incorporates acceptance and commitment therapy, which helps people clarify their values and learn skills for accepting difficult feelings while taking meaningful action. ACT can be useful for stress, chronic pain, and persistent worry when avoidance has become a problem.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Monica treats therapy as a collaboration and will help figure out which methods fit a client's goals and preferences. Sessions can blend ideas from CBT, ACT, and attachment-informed listening to meet changing needs over time.

Online formats make it easier to fit counseling into daily life. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when visual cues help, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and live chat or text messaging can support ongoing reflection between meetings. These options offer flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels while keeping the focus on practical progress.
