About Monica
Monica Farrer is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 11 years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and parenting concerns, and other life changes including grief and trauma. Monica also lists blended family issues among her focus areas, and she offers help for caregiver stress, guilt, and problems that cross multiple areas of life.
Monica uses practical, evidence-informed approaches in session. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen and respond to what matters most to each person. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills and mindfulness are part of her toolkit for managing intense emotions and building coping skills.
Sessions move at a steady, work-focused pace. Monica will talk through immediate concerns, try small experiments between meetings, and teach skills that can be used at home. She mixes short-term problem solving and longer-term pattern work depending on what the person wants to address.
Her background spans clinical settings where she supported people with addiction, mood disorders, trauma, and family conflict. That experience informs how she responds to people juggling parenting duties, co-parenting with an ex, or navigating life in a blended household.
Monica conducts sessions in English and practices under her North Carolina LCMHC credential. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Monica commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in session. Client-Centered Therapy means the therapist listens closely and helps people clarify what they want to change. It is useful for sorting through relationship and parenting concerns. CBT focuses on spotting thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then trying different ways of thinking and acting. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills and mindfulness to help manage intense emotions and improve day-to-day coping. DBT skills teach concrete practices for handling strong feelings, reducing impulsive actions, and improving communication. Mindfulness techniques help people notice reactions and choose a different response when needed.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Monica will talk with each person about goals and preferences and select approaches together. That collaborative process helps decide whether to focus on short-term problem solving, skills practice, or deeper pattern work.
