Malissa Monaghan is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor practicing in New York with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with children, adolescents, adults, and families to address a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and confidence, relationship and family conflicts, grief and loss, sleeping difficulties, parenting challenges, anger management, career-related stress, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes.
Her approach is trauma-sensitive and aims to create a gentle, collaborative, and direct therapeutic environment. Sessions are offered with compassion and understanding, with the goal of helping people better understand and find solutions to both current and long-standing challenges.
She holds a New York state license as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, a professional credential that authorizes clinical practice in the state. Malissa is available for chat, email, and phone or video sessions and looks forward to supporting clients on their path to improved mental health.
For many common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person sessions. This makes virtual care a viable option for people seeking support for these issues.
One of the main benefits is flexibility - clients can choose the mode of connection that fits their needs and comfort level, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility can make it easier to incorporate therapy into a busy schedule and to maintain continuity of care.
Each therapist who provides online services is a licensed professional, and clients have the option to switch therapists if they feel a different fit would be more helpful. For many people, online therapy is a practical and effective step toward addressing everyday mental health concerns and making progress in their lives.
