About Monica
Monica Cowan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oregon with 10 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are struggling with self-esteem, career challenges, coping with life changes, grief, stress, anxiety, parenting pressures, sleeping problems, ADHD, and anger. Monica also supports those facing caregiver strain, cancer or hospice issues, and a range of life transitions.
Her style is straightforward and person-focused. Conversations are practical and goal-oriented. She asks about day-to-day patterns and what gets in the way of feeling steady. Together she and the client set small, manageable steps to try between sessions.
Monica draws from client-centered methods to keep the work rooted in each person's perspective. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test different ways of reacting. Mindfulness techniques are used to help with stress, sleep, and emotional intensity.
She includes motivational interviewing and solution-focused work when people want to clarify goals or move through career and life decisions. That can look like short-term coaching tools as well as deeper therapeutic conversations. Monica notes practical barriers and works on strategies people can use in daily life.
Sessions are conducted in English and she practices in Oregon. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session through the site's booking flow.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. It helps people feel understood and bring forward the issues that matter most to them, like anger that shows up at work or home.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that keep anger cycling. It uses practical exercises to test new responses and reduce reactivity in everyday situations.
Mindfulness Therapy offers simple attention and breathing practices to lower arousal and improve sleep and stress management. These tools are often paired with CBT to help people notice triggers earlier.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Monica will work collaboratively to identify what fits a person’s goals, needs, and preferences, and adjust methods as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals often use these practical benefits to help clients maintain momentum between appointments.
