About Monica
LMFT Monica Olsen has 21 years of clinical practice in Oregon and works primarily on relationship, family, and parenting concerns. She also helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, and depression, with extra focus on blended family issues, codependency, and control problems. Monica conducts therapy in English and accepts international clients.
She frames problems in the context of systems - how past relationships and current living situations shape present patterns. Sessions look at concrete interactions and repeated behaviors. Monica aims to help people recognize the patterns that keep them stuck and to try different ways of responding day to day.
Her work uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking and behavior patterns that feed distress. She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to address attachment and closeness in relationships, and on Trauma-Focused Therapy when early experiences affect present functioning. Those approaches guide the steps she recommends in session.
Monica’s style is practical and focused on real change rather than abstract discussion. She will talk through what is happening now, suggest adjustments to usual responses, and practice new skills during sessions. Progress is measured in changes clients can notice at home.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Payment is arranged through a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Confirm current session options before booking to make sure the format fits your needs.

How Monica Uses CBT, EFT, and Trauma Work Online
Monica uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to map how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and practicing different responses to reduce anxiety, depression, or problematic behaviors.She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help with connection and patterns in close relationships. EFT focuses on the emotions under interactions and helps people express needs and respond differently to partners or family members.
Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when earlier experiences shape current reactions. This approach looks at how past events affect emotional and behavioral patterns and then works on steps to change those patterns in day-to-day life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Monica will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She checks in about what is working and adjusts the plan as therapy progresses.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example shorter check-ins during a break, or sessions that do not require travel. Discuss practical preferences when you schedule to find the best fit for your routine.
