Monica Giuffre

Monica Giuffre is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with five years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, coping with life changes, relationship and family concerns, grief, self-esteem struggles, and ADHD. Monica also focuses on related issues such as attachment, body image, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, and substance use concerns.

Monica’s approach mixes several therapy methods to match what a person needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns and make choices that align with their values. Attachment-based and client-centered work are used to look at how relationships affect mood and behavior. She also draws on existential ideas to talk about meaning and direction when life feels uncertain.

Sessions tend to be interactive. Monica listens, reflects, and offers practical strategies you can try between meetings. Conversations can include identifying unhelpful thinking, practicing new ways to cope with stress, and examining how past relationships shape current choices. She encourages honesty and a bit of creativity in how problems are approached.

People often come with crossroads at work or home, big losses, or trouble managing impulses and addictive behaviors. Monica helps people clarify priorities, manage symptoms, and take small steps toward more consistent routines. Her style is straightforward and relational rather than technical.

Monica speaks English and accepts international clients. She works from her Texas LPC credential and asks prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.

How Monica integrates different approaches in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them, then choose behaviors that match their values. This approach can be useful for anxiety, stuckness, and decisions about what matters next.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is practical and skill-based, which can help with depression, anxiety, and coping with life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships affect how someone connects, copes, and trusts. It can help when relationship patterns or attachment concerns play a role in stress or self-esteem issues.

Monica treats finding the right approach as a shared task. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. From there she suggests which methods to try and adjusts the plan as needed in collaboration with the client.

The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day - for example, shorter check-ins can be scheduled around work breaks, and not needing to travel can save time. Some formats also use less bandwidth and work well when someone prefers audio only. These practical benefits can help therapy fit into everyday life.
