LMHC, 11 years of experience
Monica Tsai, LMHC brings more than a decade of experience, a master’s degree in professional counseling from Liberty University, and a grounded, authentic approach to healing. She specializes in trauma and abuse recovery, to include combat trauma, anxiety disorders, major depression and grief. In addition to individual counseling, Monica co-leads a 12-week sexual abuse survivors' group in the Jacksonville, FL area—one of the only programs in the area that keeps participants in a consistent, supportive cohort. This structure fosters trust, safety, and real connection—creating a space where survivors can show up fully and be seen. Monica’s style is warm, gentle, and deeply empowering.

I use CBT-based handouts to aid with processing thoughts and feelings, to gain new insight into behavior, and as a way to supplement coping skills. That being said, I do not limit myself to these interventions as it is important to recognize the impact of trauma and the influence of family systems.
