Monica Christian, LPC

Monica Christian is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin with 15 years of experience helping people navigate difficult emotional terrain. She works with individuals facing depression, anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, and life transitions, offering steady support grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques.

Her practice also focuses on related concerns such as attachment wounds, abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, blended family dynamics, codependency, communication problems, and family of origin issues. Monica brings particular attention to the ways past experiences shape present feelings and relationships, and she helps clients identify patterns that keep them stuck while building practical skills for change.

Monica emphasizes compassion, self-compassion, and improved communication as foundations for lasting growth. Clients find a warm, non-judgmental space to explore workplace stress, grieving or illness related challenges, parenting and fatherhood issues, and recovery from domestic violence. Her goal is to empower people to increase resilience, rediscover purpose, and create healthier connections in their lives.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Therapy Options

Monica uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and trauma recovery. One approach emphasizes skills building to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression by teaching coping strategies, emotion regulation, and improved communication to help stabilize daily functioning and reduce stress.

Another approach focuses on trauma-informed work that helps people process difficult experiences at a pace that feels manageable, addressing the impact of trauma and abuse on relationships and self-worth. Monica also integrates attachment-informed perspectives when working with relationship and family concerns, helping clients understand patterns rooted in early relationships and develop healthier connection skills.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Monica partners with each person to identify goals, assess which methods feel most helpful, and adjust the plan as therapy progresses so the treatment fits the client’s needs and preferences.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and varied needs. Video calls and phone sessions allow for face-to-face interaction, while live chat and text messaging provide more immediate, shorter-form options for check-ins and skill practice. These modalities make it easier to receive consistent support without extensive travel, helping clients maintain momentum toward their goals.
