Monica Giuffre, LPC

Monica Giuffre is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, and relationship concerns. She aims to create a warm, steady space where clients feel seen and supported. Monica values honesty, humor, and a down-to-earth approach during sessions.

Monica became a counselor after working through her own life challenges and wanting to be the kind of support she once needed. She says people often open up to her naturally, and that shaped her decision to enter this work. Her experience includes five years in clinical practice supporting people with depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, ADHD, and struggles with self-esteem.

Her approach blends several methods to match each person's situation. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify values and take meaningful steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build new habits. Attachment-based and client-centered work guide sessions when relationships and trust are central concerns.

Monica often focuses on practical skills alongside emotional processing. That can look like setting small goals, practicing new ways to communicate, and learning tools to manage strong emotions. She also supports people dealing with chronic health issues, caregiving strain, body image concerns, and challenges related to neurodiversity.

Session pacing is collaborative and based on each person's needs. Monica accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire to get started and then schedule sessions according to availability.

Approaches that translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values, which can reduce avoidance and increase purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and can guide work on trust and communication.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Monica will talk with each client about their goals and preferences and recommend methods that fit. The process is collaborative, with adjustments made over time if something isn’t working.

The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and let people check in from a quieter spot when time is limited. Some people find shorter check-ins helpful on a workday, while others prefer longer sessions for deeper work. Licensed professionals adapt pacing and tools to each person’s needs so therapy fits into everyday life without adding extra strain.
