Monica Burgos, LICSW

Monica Burgos is a bilingual clinical social worker with more than 24 years of practice. She provides therapy in English and Spanish and pays attention to how culture shapes each person's experience. Monica aims to make sessions feel warm, respectful, and free of judgment so people can speak openly about hard things.

She uses an eclectic, holistic, trauma-informed approach and adapts the work to each person's needs. That means she combines techniques from evidence-based therapies and focuses on what helps the individual most. Sessions often address anxiety, depression, adjustment problems, grief, and trauma.

Monica also helps people facing relationship strain, intimacy issues, low self-esteem, career stress, and major life transitions. She can help those feeling overwhelmed by caregiver demands, compassion fatigue, or difficulties with attachment and abandonment wounds. The work includes talking through patterns, building coping skills, and strengthening emotional awareness.

Her background includes long-term clinical experience in community settings and with diverse clients across the lifespan. Monica emphasizes culturally responsive care and considers cultural factors when shaping goals and interventions. Expect practical strategies you can try between sessions alongside space to process emotions.

People choose her when they want a bilingual therapist who listens and adapts methods to real-life needs. She invites each person to take part in shaping the work and sets goals that make sense for their day-to-day life.

Practical therapeutic approaches and online care

Monica uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and follows a trauma-informed, culturally aware approach. One common method focuses on processing traumatic memories and reducing their impact on daily life through structured conversations and coping skills. This helps people who feel stuck by past events and who want clearer ways to manage triggers and intense emotions.

Another approach emphasizes skill building for anxiety, depression, and life changes. That work teaches straightforward tools for regulating mood, improving communication, and handling stressful situations, with practice between sessions to make new habits stick.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Monica works with each person to identify goals, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what’s helpful. She encourages feedback so the therapy fits the client’s values, culture, and daily life.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow brief or more focused check-ins by phone when needed, and remove travel time so you can access sessions from different locations. Discuss format preferences with the therapist when you schedule to find the best match for your needs.
