About Monica
Monica Rodriguez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 13 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, trauma, parenting strain, anger, and depression. Monica speaks English and Spanish and aims to make first steps feel safer and clearer for people who are worried or overwhelmed.
Her approach begins by listening. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and looks for the strengths already present. Conversations focus on what feels most pressing and what small steps can help in day-to-day life.
Monica uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow a person's pace and priorities. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice and shift unhelpful thinking patterns, and Narrative Therapy to help people reframe painful stories they carry. These methods are used in straightforward ways during sessions to address symptoms and patterns.
Typical sessions involve talking through current struggles, setting short-term goals, and trying practical tools between meetings. Monica supports people managing chronic pain or illness, immigration-related stress, mood and panic issues, and recovery from sexual assault and other trauma.
She encourages open conversation about expectations and progress. If you want to start, Monica asks people to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to schedule a first appointment.
