Hello. My name is Monica Duncan and I have been a licensed clinical social worker for over 20 years. I understand that it takes courage to engage in a therapeutic experience. So, kudos to you for taking time to invest in yourself, your family and/or other relationships. Each session is designed to affirm your courage and is customized to support you in the achievement of your goals. I utilize strategies and tools that identify your strengths and optimizes your personal growth. My approach is to foster a process that is safe, non-judgmental, empathetic and solution-focused.
It is important to acknowledge that therapy is a collaborative process. We work together to identify a plan that leads to your desired outcomes. It is also important to understand that change takes persistence and time. It will require trust, honesty, diligence, and patience. I am dedicated to the success of all my clients and will encourage and support you through all phases of the work.
I look forward to the privilege of working with you.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Monica is absolutely amazing. She understands exactly how I'm feeling and what I'm going through and provides positive, useful support at every turn. She's made such a difference for me and my family already.
Monica is my first therapist and after our first session together I felt very heard. She was also very considerate with my responses no matter the issue I was facing at the moment. I really enjoy my sessions with Monica because I can tell she genuinely cares about her patients’ well-being. I am so grateful I have such a great therapist.
