Monica was very easy to talk to and never judged me. She understood the way I coped with things but also taught me new strategies to use and taught me to see why my coping strategies weren’t helpful. I feel like I have learned so much from her and I am very grateful.

Hi, my name is Monica Talcott.
I am glad you chose to look for someone to work through the struggle you are dealing with at this time in your life.
I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Maryland, and have over 9 years of experience working in medical, trauma, hospice, and psychiatric settings. I received my Graduate degree from University of Maryland Baltimore in 2010.
I believe in a trusting, warm, and honest therapeutic relationship and consider it a privilege to be able to provide to my clients. If you are experiencing a loss of any kind, struggling with a medical diagnosis, are burnt out from caregiving, or are having struggles in your everyday relationships, please reach out.
I look forward to meeting you!

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
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 a huge help and I look forward to continuing to work with her.
My therapist understands what my areas of concern are. She helps me to see alternatives. Helps keep me positive.
Monica has been very helpful for my mental health, specifically my self esteem and confidence. She tells you exactly what you need to hear and has been instrumental in my growth as a person.
She great, compassionate, understanding and I enjoy talking to her. I feel safe
Monica is great
Monica does an excellent job of making me feel heard and understood while offering practical tools to navigate my challenges.
Never had a therapist. First session was very helpful.
Monica has a great sense of humor but is also very good at setting boundaries. I’ve only had 3 sessions so far but I can tell already that maybe, just maybe, my issues will be addressed…this time. There are some things that I need to change before I can fully benefit from therapy and Monica was pretty quick to figure that out. All in all, Monica is very supportive, positive and will not buy my BS.
