About Monica
Monica Krechman-Foreman is an Ohio licensed professional counselor with 29 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, or struggles with addiction. Monica aims to create a respectful, compassionate space where people can take the first step toward change.
She tailors conversations and plans to each person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. Monica draws on practical methods to help people manage panic attacks, work through mood shifts, and improve daily coping skills. Her focus includes issues that often cluster together, such as social anxiety, postpartum mood changes, and problems with alcohol or drugs.
Monica uses client-centered techniques to listen closely and follow the person’s priorities. She also uses cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and to build new coping habits. Mindfulness practices are offered to help calm the body and attention during high-anxiety moments.
Her approach tends to be straightforward and goal-oriented, helping people notice small changes that add up. For someone facing a midlife transition, aging concerns, or seasonal mood shifts, Monica helps identify realistic steps forward. She emphasizes collaboration so the plan fits the person’s life and values.
People can expect a calm, nonjudgmental partner in the work of change. Monica encourages those ready to take a first step to reflect on what they want to feel and to bring that aim into sessions.
How these approaches work in online sessions
Monica commonly blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques to address immediate concerns and daily habits. Client-centered therapy means the conversation follows what matters most to the person, with the therapist listening closely and adapting responses. Cognitive behavioral methods focus on noticing thought patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and panic symptoms.She also uses mindfulness strategies to help people calm their attention and respond differently during moments of high stress. Mindfulness practice can be brief exercises to ground the body, breathing work, or short attention skills that reduce rumination and help manage panic attacks.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to figure out which techniques fit a person’s goals and daily life. That conversation guides what is tried in sessions and how homework or practice is shaped between meetings.
Specific session formats were not listed in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around school, work, or caregiving by removing travel time and allowing professionals to schedule shorter or more timely check-ins. It also lets therapists use screen-shared worksheets, guided breathing, and step-by-step skill practice during the session to reinforce learning and build coping skills.
