About Monica Massengale
Monica Massengale approaches her work as supportive guidance rather than a distant clinical role, offering a steady presence for people who are trying to find purpose and more balance in daily life. She combines a kind, non-judgmental manner with a goal-driven focus, helping clients learn practical skills to manage emotions, make rational decisions, and keep moving forward. Monica emphasizes teaching tools that clients can use independently while accompanying them through the process of discovery and growth.
Monica brings six years of clinical experience across settings that include a hospice clinic, an addiction and homeless services center, and an outpatient therapy agency. In hospice she spent meaningful time with people and families at the end of life, which shaped her commitment to supporting those impacted by death and dying. She also worked with individuals and groups in addiction and homelessness services and with families, survivors of abuse, and children in agency practice, using trauma-focused methods to help clients manage symptoms and develop healthy coping strategies.
Licensed as a LIMHP, which stands for Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner, Monica blends acceptance, attachment-aware perspectives, and client-centered care to create an atmosphere of validation and practical change. She values those "ah-ha" moments when a person recognizes their own insight, and she stays alongside clients as they apply new skills and build toward a more balanced future.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Monica Massengale integrates approaches that emphasize values, relationships, and the client's own experience. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and learn practical ways to act toward those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings - it is often helpful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and close relationships influence patterns in current relationships and emotional responses, supporting work on relationship issues, attachment concerns, and caregiving stress. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathetic listening and unconditional acceptance so clients can explore their feelings and discover their own solutions; this approach can be useful for building self-esteem and coping with loss or identity shifts.Monica treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and needs, adjusting techniques so the work feels useful and aligned with the client's priorities. In session she combines listening, gentle challenge, and skill-building to help clients move toward meaningful change.
Online therapy offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care during life changes, and connect with licensed professionals from home or other settings. Monica uses these formats to provide practical, accessible support tailored to each person's life and goals.
