Monica Pineda is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Arizona (AZ LPC 20770) with 14 years of clinical experience. She specializes in stress and anxiety, self-esteem and confidence, career-related challenges, coping with life changes, and coaching, and identifies as a therapist of color and a female therapist who practices from a non-religious framework.
Monica creates an open, safe environment where clients can share thoughts and feelings without judgment and works collaboratively to support motivation and personal growth. She draws from a range of approaches, including trauma-informed care, Internal Family Systems (IFS), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and client-centered techniques, using a direct style when appropriate to help clients make progress.
It takes courage to begin a path toward greater fulfillment and well-being, and Monica offers support and empowerment throughout that journey. Please note she currently offers live sessions by phone only.
Many people ask whether meeting with a therapist online can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
A key benefit is flexibility. Individuals can connect in the way that fits their life best - via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - making it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and other commitments.
These options also make it simpler to access licensed professionals who can address everyday mental health needs, and clients may change therapists if they want a different fit. Online therapy can be a practical and effective option for many people seeking care.
