About Monna
Monna Kendrick is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) based in Kentucky. She has 15 years of experience and brings calm, steady support to people facing anxiety, depression, grief, ADHD, and life changes. Her approach centers on listening carefully and helping people find practical ways to cope.
She spent much of her career in inpatient settings, working with both acute and residential care populations. That work gave her a lot of experience with mood disorders, panic, addiction, and trauma.
Background and approach
She also has experience helping people navigate relationship and family concerns, communication problems, and the stresses of caregiving and end-of-life issues. In sessions she focuses on education and hands-on skills. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help people reframe thinking and take small, manageable steps.
Mindfulness and client-centered approaches are used to build emotional awareness and strengthen coping skills. Her style is direct but compassionate. She aims to make therapy understandable and useful on a day-to-day level.
People often work on concrete goals like reducing panic attacks, improving sleep, handling anger, or managing mood swings. Monna also supports those dealing with shame, isolation, attachment concerns, and identity questions. She speaks English and practices in Kentucky as an LPCC, bringing fifteen years of clinical experience to each session.
Approach, access, and how online sessions help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them, then move toward values-based action; it can help with anxiety, depression, and feeling overwhelmed. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments, which is useful for panic, mood problems, and behavior change. Client-Centered Therapy puts the persons experience at the center and uses empathy and listening to build trust and self-understanding, often helping with grief, shame, and relationship issues.Choosing the right approach is usually a collaborative process. The therapist will talk about goals, try ideas in session, and adjust methods based on what helps most. That means you and the therapist decide together which techniques to use and how to apply them to daily life.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video is helpful for longer, interactive work and skills practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, reminders, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep continuity when travel or location changes occur.
