Monica Davis is a licensed clinical social worker based in Ohio with over five years of experience spanning community health centers and urban schools in Columbus. She has supported people facing a wide range of challenges, including stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, grief, parenting and family conflicts, and issues related to identity and intimacy.
Her practice centers on walking alongside clients through healing and personal growth using an integrative approach. Monica draws from healing-centered and liberation-focused perspectives alongside culturally responsive and trauma-sensitive methods, informed by contemporary neuroscience. These frameworks are adapted to fit each person’s unique needs, with an emphasis on identity-affirmative care that respects diverse backgrounds and the experiences of people with marginalized identities.
Therapy with Monica is collaborative and goal-oriented. She focuses on building trust, exploring life stories and the different parts of a person’s inner world, and addressing attachment patterns. Work may include mindfulness and somatic-based techniques and, when appropriate, the thoughtful inclusion of cultural or ancestral healing practices to enrich the therapeutic process. Specific trauma-focused therapies are available for those seeking support with coping and recovery from traumatic experiences.
Mutual respect and empowerment guide her sessions, which often involve open dialogue, experiential activities, and practices to increase self-awareness and emotional balance. Monica is committed to continual professional development so her work reflects evolving insights and approaches that benefit each client’s journey toward resilience and well-being.
She is licensed in Ohio as an independent clinical social worker (LISW) and maintains a practice that aims to be inclusive, supportive, and empowering. Monica also maintains regular live session availability on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 10:30 AM to 7:30 PM and on Sundays from 10:30 AM to 7:00 PM, with first appointments typically beginning at 10:30 AM and the last appointment start times around 6:45 PM (6:15 PM on Sunday).
Many people ask whether meeting with a therapist online can really make a difference. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and navigating life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions for most people.
One major benefit is flexibility - clients can connect in the way that best fits their needs and schedules, whether through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility often makes it easier to maintain consistent care and integrate therapy into a busy life.
Therapists providing online care are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change therapists if they find another fit that better suits their preferences. For many people facing everyday mental health challenges, online therapy offers an accessible and effective route to support and growth.
