Monica Krechman-Foreman , LPCC

Monica Krechman-Foreman is a licensed professional counselor clinically recognized as LPCC in Ohio with 29 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, or struggles with addiction. Her approach centers on respect, sensitivity, and compassion as she listens to each person’s situation.

Monica adapts conversations and treatment plans to fit what each person needs right now. She uses practical tools from evidence-based approaches and works to keep things straightforward. The goal is to make progress in ways that feel real and doable for daily life.

In sessions she helps people cope with life changes, manage mood and panic symptoms, and address issues like postpartum depression and seasonal mood shifts. She also supports people dealing with communication problems and the unique pressures that come with midlife and aging concerns.

Monica uses techniques that teach skills for handling unhelpful thoughts, calming the body, and setting achievable goals. She pays special attention to women’s issues and how gender-related stress can affect mood and relationships. Sessions are offered in English and reflect nearly three decades of clinical work in Ohio.

Her aim is to make the first step feel less daunting and to partner with each person as they build clearer coping skills and stronger day-to-day routines.

Practical therapies you can use online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person in front of the therapist. It helps people feel heard so they can figure out their own priorities and next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills for changing patterns that worsen anxiety, depression, or panic.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Monica will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying different tools together and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, homework review, or when written reflection helps. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping the focus on skill building and practical change.
