Monna Kendrick, LPCC

Monna Kendrick is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) based in Kentucky with 15 years of experience. She meets people where they are and helps them manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, substance concerns, and relationship strain. Her work also includes support around parenting, career change, anger, and coping with life transitions. She lists aging and geriatric issues among her additional focuses.

Before moving into outpatient work, most of her background was in inpatient settings, including acute and residential care. That experience means she is familiar with crisis-level needs, safety planning, and step-down care back into everyday life. She has worked with people from many backgrounds and identities.

In sessions she uses active listening and empathy to offer support and education. Her style centers on the person in front of her and on practical steps people can try between meetings. She draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and acceptance and commitment therapy to help people notice patterns and try new responses.

Attachment-based and client-centered ideas also shape her work, particularly when communication or relationship problems are the focus. She often combines talk-based strategies with simple exercises to build coping skills and manage strong emotions. Her goal is to help people feel more steady and able to handle day-to-day demands.

Monna works in English and holds a Kentucky LPCC credential. If a reader wants to explore therapy, she asks them to begin by completing the short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time to talk.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Many of her tools come from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy. CBT looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and offers step-by-step exercises to change unhelpful patterns. ACT focuses on values and committed action, helping people accept difficult feelings while moving toward what matters to them.

She also uses attachment-based and client-centered ideas to guide conversations about relationships and communication. Those approaches aim to help people feel heard and to notice how early patterns affect current connections. The therapist and client work together to pick methods that fit the person's goals and daily life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will listen to the client's needs, try techniques, and adjust plans as goals change. This helps ensure the work feels relevant and doable.

Session formats are not listed here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or travel. It can also let people choose a quieter time, avoid commuting, or use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can adapt mindfulness, CBT exercises, and ACT practices to remote settings to keep work practical and goal-focused.
