About Monica
Monica Burtley-Miller is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Illinois with 10 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, depression, and coping with life changes. Monica talks plainly with people about what is happening now and what they hope will be different.
Her approach centers on building a working relationship where people can say what they think and feel. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow the person's pace and Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how close relationships affect everyday reactions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused techniques are brought in when practical steps and skill practice will help reduce symptoms or solve a specific problem.
Sessions often include short-term goal setting and concrete skill practice. Monica helps people notice patterns of thought and behavior, try small changes, and check what works. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone is ready to make changes but feels stuck or unsure how to start.
She has spent a decade working with adults who are juggling work, family, and health pressures. That experience shapes a straightforward style that emphasizes useful tools and clear next steps. People looking for help with caregiver stress, communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, or loneliness may find this approach practical.
In Illinois-based practice, Monica works in English. To begin, readers should follow the site process to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how close relationships shape everyday reactions; online sessions can be used to talk through relationship patterns and practice new ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following the client's lead and building trust in conversation, which fits well with regular video or phone check-ins that allow steady, person-led progress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves tracking thoughts and testing small behavior changes, and it translates into clear at-home exercises and brief skill work between meetings.Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. Monica will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean focusing on coping skills first, then shifting to relationship patterns or targeted CBT work as needed.
The site biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow brief check-ins when time is limited, and support consistent practice of skills between meetings. Licensed professionals often use video or phone to keep progress moving without requiring travel, but please verify which formats Monica offers before scheduling.
