About Monika
Monika Scott-Rogers is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, mood concerns, and life transitions. Monika also supports people dealing with trauma, grief, relationship struggles, parenting strain, and ADHD.
She aims to create a calm space where people can sort through what’s happening now. She uses straightforward conversation to help clients notice patterns, try new skills, and build practical coping tools.
Background and approach
Sessions are focused on what a person wants to change and how to get there step by step. Monika draws on approaches like client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness to tailor each plan. That means she listens closely, helps reframe unhelpful thoughts, and teaches present-moment strategies to reduce overwhelm.
She also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas to set clear, achievable goals. Her experience includes helping people with identity and discrimination issues, LGBT concerns, bipolar and mood disorders, compassion fatigue, and challenges related to non-monogamous relationships and alternative sexual cultures. She also addresses less commonly discussed areas like guilt, forgiveness, and isolation.
In sessions, Monika focuses on practical change rather than labels. She encourages experiments between appointments, small habit shifts, and ways to make daily life feel more manageable. Her style is warm, down-to-earth, and goal-oriented.
Monika practices in South Carolina and offers therapy in English. People who want to get started fill out a short questionnaire and schedule a time that fits their life.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered work begins by focusing on the persons experience and priorities, using attentive listening and reflective conversation to understand what matters most. This approach helps with identity, relationship, and self-esteem concerns by centering the clients goals and values.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It can help with anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and mood shifts by offering concrete strategies to test and change thinking.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple present-moment practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotion regulation. These techniques support stress management, grief processing, and coping with overwhelming feelings.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust tactics as progress is made.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility: video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed; live chat and text-based messaging allow brief, ongoing support between appointments. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and make it easier to keep momentum between sessions.
