Monica Van Nort, LPCC, LMHC

Monica Van Nort is a licensed counselor who brings a calm, practical approach to work with people facing anxiety, stress, grief, and life transitions. She holds credentials as an LPCC and an LMHC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and Licensed Mental Health Counselor - and practices in Florida with ten years of clinical experience. She has professional experience across community mental health, forensic assessment, and school counseling, and she focuses on helping individuals move past the obstacles that brought them to therapy.

Monica places strong value on the therapeutic relationship, aiming to create an accepting and collaborative space where clients can recognize their strengths and make meaningful change. She uses techniques that challenge unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and tailors her methods to each person’s needs. Monica has training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Emotional Freedom Technique - often called tapping - and integrates those tools when they fit a client’s goals.

She finds it rewarding when someone experiences a clear shift in understanding or sense of self-worth, and she combines listening, acceptance, and coaching to support progress toward greater balance and relief. Monica works with adults coping with anxiety, grief, stress, and the adjustments that come with life changes, helping them build skills to live the life they want.

Practical Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Monica uses targeted techniques that translate well to remote sessions and address stress, anxiety, grief, and life transitions. EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - is one approach she is trained in; it helps people process distressing memories and reduce the intensity of upsetting reactions.

She also employs structured thought- and behavior-focused techniques that help clients identify unhelpful patterns, build coping skills, and develop more effective ways of managing daily stressors. Monica has additional training in Emotional Freedom Technique, sometimes called tapping, which she may incorporate as a calming strategy when appropriate.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Monica collaborates with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, adapting methods over time so treatment aligns with what the client hopes to achieve. Licensed professionals and therapists offer these options to create a flexible path forward.

Online therapy with Monica is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering scheduling flexibility and access from wherever a client feels most comfortable. These formats make it easier to fit consistent care into busy lives while maintaining continuity of treatment and progress.
