About Monna
Monna Kendrick is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) practicing in Kentucky. She brings 15 years of experience and a practical style aimed at helping parents and individuals manage stress, mood concerns, and life changes. She uses plain talk and active listening to help people name what feels hard.
Sessions focus on problem solving, building coping skills, and improving day-to-day functioning. Parents often work on communication, setting boundaries, and managing overwhelm.
Background and approach
Her background includes many years in inpatient settings, both acute and residential. That work gave her experience with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, panic, grief, trauma, and substance-related issues. She has supported people from many walks of life and multiple stages of adulthood.
In session she draws from approaches such as cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness, and acceptance-based work. She also uses attachment ideas and a client-centered stance to guide conversations about relationships and emotional patterns. The focus is practical changes you can try between sessions.
Monna describes therapy as a blend of education and support. She listens first, then offers tools and clear steps to help clients move forward. Her style is calm, direct, and focused on what a person wants to change next.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then take actions that align with their values; this can be useful for anxiety, depression, and parenting stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like panic, low mood, and worry. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and a collaborative relationship so clients feel heard while they explore goals and choices.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods based on individual needs, goals, and personal preferences. That process may involve trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit busy schedules. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation from separate locations. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option or fit a short break during the day. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, skill practice, and ongoing support between longer sessions.
