About Monica
Monica Guerrero is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 23 years of experience practicing in New York. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Monica offers therapy in English and Spanish and lists life purpose among her focus areas.
She uses practical conversations to help people understand what feels stuck and what matters next. Sessions often cover coping skills for panic or seasonal changes, ways to manage chronic illness or caregiver strain, and steps toward greater self-respect. She addresses guilt, shame, and isolation in straightforward ways that connect to daily life.
Monica pays attention to communication problems and how they affect relationships and work. She helps people sort through feelings after loss, serious illness, or major transitions. For those facing cancer or chronic pain, she brings decades of clinical experience to conversations about stress and adjustment.
Her bilingual approach supports Spanish speakers who prefer to talk in their first language. Monica emphasizes practical strategies such as developing routines for mood, identifying small behavioral changes, and practicing clearer expression of needs. She encourages realistic steps rather than quick fixes.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online work
Monica describes her practice as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and behavioral change. Cognitive-based strategies help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new ways of thinking; these approaches are often used for anxiety, depression, and panic symptoms. Behavioral strategies concentrate on concrete actions - activity scheduling, exposure steps for social anxiety, and small habit changes to improve mood and routine.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Monica collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and situation. She adjusts methods over time based on what helps most, and she treats the selection of approaches as a team decision between therapist and client.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into daily life by removing travel time, making shorter check-ins possible during a workday, or allowing for continuity when relocating. Licensed professionals can use these formats to support progress in coping, communication, and exploring life purpose without requiring a long commute.
