About Monica
Monica Erk is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in Indiana. She brings 12 years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and the fallout of trauma or abuse. She uses practical, conversational work in sessions.
Monica focuses on what is happening now and on skills people can use between meetings. Conversations are respectful and direct, aimed at reducing overwhelm and improving daily functioning. Her background includes several therapy approaches that she weaves together to match a person's needs.
Background and approach
That can mean learning ways to change unhelpful thought patterns, practicing emotional skills, or examining how early attachments shape current relationships. She adapts methods to suit each person's pace and goals. Monica has supported people dealing with parenting strain, grief, addictions, anger, sleep problems, and challenges linked to bipolar disorder or ADHD.
She also addresses issues such as loneliness, guilt and shame, family of origin concerns, and questions about life purpose and money stress. Sessions can happen through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Monica asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling so the work can begin with clear goals.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Monica draws from the Gottman Method, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to shape online sessions. The Gottman Method focuses on practical skills for improving communication and reducing conflict in relationships. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds influence current patterns and helps people build more supported ways of relating. CBT helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and habits to reduce anxiety, depression, and daily stress.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Monica will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and history, and together they will pick strategies that feel doable. The plan can change over time as needs shift or new challenges emerge.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video works well for in-depth conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging let people share updates between sessions or use brief check-ins during a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while managing work, family, and life demands.
