Monica DuShane, LCSW, LISW

Monica DuShane is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) practicing in Ohio with nine years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, career challenges, and major life changes. Monica also lists concerns such as trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, sleep problems, anger, mood disorders, and ADHD.

Her sessions focus on practical, moment-to-moment steps people can take to feel steadier. Monica uses approaches like client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice patterns and try small changes. She includes mindfulness and some psychodynamic ideas to look at feelings and past influences when that helps.

Monica often addresses caregiver stress, chronic illness, aging issues, and communication problems. She also notes work-related and career concerns, bereavement, and end-of-life topics. These areas are woven into her session goals when they are relevant to a person’s situation.

The therapist aims to help clients build coping skills and improve day-to-day functioning. Sessions typically discuss concrete steps for managing worry, improving sleep routines, or changing unhelpful thinking. Monica also works on emotion regulation skills drawn from dialectical behavior therapy when intense feelings are present.

People who reach out can expect a practical, steady approach that balances immediate coping strategies with longer-term reflection. Monica practices in Ohio and conducts work in English. To begin, readers should confirm current session formats before booking.
