Monica Purvis, LPC

Monica Purvis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, anger, addictions, relationship strain, and low self-esteem. She also supports those navigating trauma and abuse, career concerns, ADHD, and major life changes. Monica writes plainly and focuses on practical ways to cope and move forward.

Monica uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as one tool to help people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors. She also draws on client-centered and solution-focused ideas to keep sessions grounded in what matters most to each person. Trauma-focused methods are available when past hurts are part of the problem.

In sessions she listens first, then helps set clear, reachable goals. Conversations focus on small steps people can take between sessions. Monica aims to make therapy feel like a steady, problem-solving partnership rather than a list of tests or labels.

Her work reflects 21 years of experience in counseling. That background shapes a practical style that blends skill-building with emotional support. Monica keeps language simple so busy parents and working adults can follow along easily.

She practices in Georgia and conducts work in English. People who are exploring how to handle family conflict, compassion fatigue, abandonment issues, or isolation will find straightforward strategies rather than abstract theory. Sessions emphasize coping tools, clearer communication, and ways to rebuild confidence.

Using CBT and Client-Centered Work Online

Monica commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice the thoughts that keep them stuck and practice different behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and issues where changing thought patterns helps reduce symptoms. Client-centered therapy is also part of her style and focuses on listening, empathy, and helping clients find their own solutions to problems.

She can also bring solution-focused and trauma-informed ideas into the work when goals call for quick, practical steps or when past events need careful attention. Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist and client talk about goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan until it fits the person's needs and preferences.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversations, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a short check-in, and text messaging helps with brief updates or ongoing support between appointments. These options let people fit therapy into busy days and keep progress moving forward.
