About Monica
Monica Turner Lowery is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Mississippi with 17 years of experience. She focuses on relationship and family concerns, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, depression, stress, anxiety, and life purpose. Monica describes her work as helping people navigate complex life changes and emotional challenges.
She uses a straightforward, collaborative approach. Sessions focus on understanding patterns in relationships and emotions, and on practical steps people can try between meetings. Monica draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to help people notice what matters and act in line with those values.
Monica often helps clients untangle attachment issues, blended family dynamics, communication problems, and codependency. She also works with people facing divorce and separation, caregiver stress, guilt and shame, and infidelity. Conversations cover how these problems show up day to day and which small changes could make a difference.
Her work emphasizes building clearer self-knowledge and steadier coping skills. Sessions move at a realistic pace and focus on doable strategies, not quick fixes. Monica also supports people wondering about life purpose and what comes next after big transitions.
People can expect a collaborative conversation that balances listening with practical guidance. The therapist helps set goals and checks in on what is or isn’t working, adjusting the approach as needed.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, then taking small steps toward what matters. It can help when people feel stuck, empty, or unsure about life purpose.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person can find their own answers. This approach supports people working through self-esteem, relationship concerns, and emotional pain by following the client's pace.
Motivational Interviewing helps clarify ambivalence and strengthen the desire to change. It works well for commitment issues, behavior changes, and when someone is unsure about next steps.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist works together with the client to choose which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. That can mean trying one approach for a while or mixing elements from different methods based on what is helpful.
Confirm current session options before booking, as this profile does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins on a break, avoiding travel time, or choosing a session style that suits your routine. Licensed professionals can use these methods effectively in remote sessions when the format fits your needs.
