About Monica
Monica Black is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Indiana with 11 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, self-esteem, and depression, and speaks English. Monica aims to help people who feel stuck by using clear, practical conversations and steady support.
She has worked in Indiana settings with adolescents and in family contexts earlier in her career. Monica's practice includes addressing communication problems, guilt and shame, forgiveness, isolation and loneliness, social anxiety, and questions about life purpose and self-love. She keeps language simple so parents and busy adults can follow the work.
Monica uses a client-centered approach. That means she and the person in therapy set goals together and adjust the plan as progress is made. Sessions focus on concrete steps - improving daily routines, practicing communication skills, and managing stress responses - rather than abstract theory.
Meetings are practical and goal-oriented. Monica offers space to talk through recent problems, past hurts, and parenting challenges. She helps people sort priorities, try small behavior changes, and track what helps between sessions.
People who want straightforward feedback and tools to handle anxiety, depression, trauma-related reactions, or parenting strain often find this style useful. Her background in social work informs attention to life context, such as school, work, and community factors that shape everyday stress.
BHow sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online work can fit
Monica describes her work using evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and recovery from difficult experiences. One common approach emphasizes skill building for anxiety and stress management, teaching breathing, grounding, and routine changes to reduce daily overwhelm and improve functioning.Another approach addresses trauma and abuse by helping people tell their story at a pace that feels manageable, identify unhelpful patterns, and build coping strategies for triggers and memories. This method aims to reduce reactivity and increase a sense of control over emotional responses.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose or adapt techniques based on their goals, current challenges, and preferences. The plan can change over time as progress or new needs appear.
Confirm current session formats before booking to know which online options are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins during a lunch break or between commitments. Audio-only sessions can work when video is difficult, and shorter check-ins can help keep momentum between longer meetings.
