Monica Guerrero , LCSW

Monica Guerrero is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 23 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. She practices in New York and offers sessions in English and Spanish. Monica aims to create a calm space where people can talk about hard experiences and find practical ways to cope.

Monica focuses on real-life challenges like major life changes, communication problems, and feelings of emptiness. She also supports people facing cancer, chronic illness or pain, and caregiver stress. Much of her work centers on restoring self-love, addressing guilt and shame, and helping clients find purpose.

Her approach is practical and person-centered. Sessions tend to include gentle guidance, listening, and tools people can use between meetings. Monica emphasizes culturally aware care and adapts support to each person’s background and needs.

Monica offers several remote session formats, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options let clients fit help into busy schedules and pick what feels most comfortable for them.

People often come to her wanting to reduce panic symptoms, manage seasonal mood shifts, or work through relationship and social anxiety challenges. Monica helps people set small goals and build coping skills that feel achievable.

Her bilingual ability in English and Spanish makes therapy accessible for many New Yorkers. To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, fills a short matching questionnaire, and schedules based on therapist availability.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Monica uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional processing. One approach emphasizes teaching coping skills and clear strategies to reduce anxiety and manage panic symptoms. This helps people learn breathing, pacing, and thought-management tools to use during stressful moments. Another approach centers on grief and loss work that helps people name painful feelings, make meaning of difficult events, and find steady ways to move forward without erasing what was lost.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Monica will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. Together they set small goals, try tools in daily life, and adjust the plan based on what helps most.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make brief check-ins and ongoing support possible between sessions. These options add flexibility and make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life.
