Monica Rawlings, LCMHC

Monica Rawlings is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) based in Utah. She focuses on meeting people where they are and helps them manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. Monica aims to make the first step feel doable for someone who is worried or overwhelmed.

Her style is compassionate and straightforward. She centers conversations on what matters to each person, using clear tools and steady support rather than jargon. Sessions often focus on communication, self-worth, coping skills, and practical steps to reduce distress.

Monica uses a mix of approaches that include attachment-based work, client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior skills, and existential themes. She adapts these approaches to the situation, helping people notice patterns, try new strategies, and build routines that work in daily life.

With ten years of experience, she has supported people through grief, trauma and abuse, body image issues, workplace stress, and major life transitions like divorce or midslife change. Monica also brings sensitivity to neurodivergent and LGBT experiences and to multicultural concerns.

Her practice emphasizes collaboration. Monica invites people to set goals, test what helps, and change course when needed. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and scheduling follows based on availability.

Approaches that guide online work

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people notice how they form closeness, manage conflict, and respond to feeling abandoned or disconnected. Client-centered therapy centers the person's own priorities and experiences. It uses listening, reflection, and gentle questions to help people clarify values and make choices that fit their life.

Finding the right approach is often a process. Monica will collaborate with clients to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. She discusses options, tries techniques in-session, and adjusts the plan as needed so the work fits each person's pace and needs.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing more flexible scheduling. It can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions that work around errands or work breaks. Because specific session formats are not listed in the biography, confirm the available options before booking so arrangements match your needs and routine.
