Monna Kendrick, LPCC

Monna Kendrick is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with 15 years of experience who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and related concerns. She writes straightforwardly with an emphasis on listening first and understanding each person's situation. Many seek her out when anxiety, depression, panic, or overwhelming life changes make daily tasks feel harder than they should.

Her background includes work in inpatient settings, both acute and residential, since becoming licensed in Kentucky in 2013. That experience means she has supported people through intense periods of crisis and stabilization. She has worked with a wide range of ages, genders, and life circumstances.

In sessions she focuses on support and education. She listens actively and responds with empathy. She aims to make conversations practical, helping people notice what works and what gets in the way.

Monna uses several evidence-informed approaches to guide the work, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, attachment-based ideas, client-centered methods, and mindfulness practices. Those approaches are used to address symptoms and everyday challenges like communication, parenting strain, relationship tension, and coping with loss.

Her practice is intended to help people build skills for managing mood, reducing panic, handling addiction concerns, and repairing communication patterns. She encourages gradual progress and uses practical tools people can try between sessions.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and emotions without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and motivation challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses concrete exercises to shift unhelpful patterns, which often helps with panic, depression, and mood regulation. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness, which can support stress management and emotional calm.

Finding the right approach is often part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to see which methods feel most helpful for their goals and daily life. Sessions may combine elements from different approaches so the plan matches each person's needs and preferences.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions will be scheduled. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people try therapeutic tools in the places they live and work while getting feedback from a licensed professional.
