About Monna
Monna Kendrick is a licensed professional clinical counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and struggles with self-esteem. She also supports those facing addiction, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and relationship or family stress. Monna aims to make the first steps feel manageable and direct conversations toward practical next steps.
She has been licensed in Kentucky since 2013 and brings 15 years of experience, much of it in inpatient settings including acute and residential care. That background means she is familiar with crisis-oriented and structured clinical environments as well as the everyday challenges people bring when life shifts suddenly.
In session she focuses on active listening and empathy. Monna centers the client’s priorities and blends supportive conversation with teaching. She uses approaches such as Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice what matters and take small, achievable steps.
Her work often addresses grief and trauma, communication struggles, anger, and caregiver or hospice concerns. She also supports people dealing with isolation, panic, and mood disorders, helping them build routines and coping tools that fit daily life.
Monna describes therapy as a partnership. She aims to provide calm, straightforward guidance and to help people practice new responses between sessions. That combination of listening and practical skills makes it easier to move forward when problems feel overwhelming.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Monna uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify their own goals and find internal reasons to change. This approach focuses on listening, asking helpful questions, and supporting small behavior changes. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values; it is often useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Monna treats therapy as a collaborative process and will help clients identify which methods fit their goals and daily life. She combines listening with practical exercises so clients can try new skills between sessions and adjust the plan as needed.
The therapist’s biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Many clients find online sessions easier to fit into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time. Online therapy can make it simpler to keep regular appointments and practice new skills in real-life moments, but confirm how sessions are scheduled and what format will be used when you set up your first appointment. -
