Monica Rawlings, LCMHC

Monica Rawlings is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor who helps people through hard seasons. She focuses on everyday struggles like anxiety, stress, depression, addiction, and relationship concerns. Monica speaks plainly and meets people where they are without judgment.

Her work often centers on improving communication, building self-worth, and reducing isolation. She supports people processing grief, body image concerns, attachment issues, and major life changes such as divorce or career shifts. Monica also helps with panic, obsessive thoughts, and the aftermath of trauma and abuse.

Monica uses collaborative, person-centered methods. She listens first, then suggests practical steps people can try between sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, attachment-focused ideas, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy are among the approaches she draws on depending on the need.

She brings sensitivity to neurodivergent people and to LGBT concerns, and she pays attention to how culture and identity shape each person's experience. Monica has ten years of clinical experience and holds an LCMHC in Utah.

Sessions are offered online in several formats so people can choose what fits their life. To get started, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a time is scheduled based on availability.

How Monica's approaches translate to online care

Monica often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT focuses on concrete strategies to reduce worry, manage mood, and change patterns that contribute to problems.

She also draws on Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current expectations and closeness with others. That work can help with intimacy issues, abandonment fears, and building more secure ways of relating.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Monica will listen to what matters to the person, discuss options, and adapt techniques to match goals and preferences in a collaborative way.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets people use visual cues and longer talk sessions, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule or to connect while traveling.
