Monica Purvis, LPC

Monica Purvis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, parenting concerns, addiction challenges, relationship struggles, and trauma. She draws on more than 20 years of experience to find practical ways forward. Monica writes simply and listens closely to what matters most to each person.

She focuses on small, usable steps rather than long lists of tasks. Sessions often include talking through current problems, learning coping skills, and trying new ways to handle difficult feelings. Monica aims to make sessions feel like a steady conversation, not a test.

Monica uses approaches such as client-centered work, cognitive behavioral tools, solution-focused strategies, and trauma-focused methods. That mix lets her tailor sessions to what people need most right now. She helps people who are coping with life changes, low self-esteem, parenting strain, anger, or ADHD-related challenges.

Her background includes long-term counseling work with children, adolescents, parents, and family-related concerns. Monica typically helps people address adoption and foster care issues, attachment and abandonment worries, blended family stress, and problems connected to divorce or separation. She also supports those dealing with isolation, impulsivity, guilt, or forgiveness questions.

Monica practices in Georgia and conducts sessions in English. Her approach is straightforward and collaborative: she listens first, then helps set clear goals and simple tasks to try between sessions.

How Monica’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following the person's lead, offering empathy, and helping them feel heard. Online sessions using this approach tend to center on listening and reflecting so clients can make sense of their feelings and decide next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. In remote sessions this often means learning specific coping skills and practicing them between meetings to see what helps with anxiety, depression, or anger.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Monica will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit their situation, and adjust plans based on what helps most. That collaborative process aims to match techniques to the client's needs and preferences.

Confirm the current online session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed, and let people use tools and worksheets in the moment. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and coping strategies to work well across remote appointments.
