Monica Krechman-Foreman, LPCC

Monica Krechman-Foreman is an Ohio-licensed counselor with 29 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, relationship strain, and depression. She aims to meet each person where they are and listens without judgment. Monica focuses on practical steps people can use right away to feel steadier and more in control.

She tailors conversations and plans to each person's situation rather than offering one-size-fits-all answers. In sessions she uses straightforward methods to break problems into manageable parts and to build skills for handling strong feelings and difficult choices. People often work on coping skills, clearer communication, and healthier daily routines.

Monica integrates client-centered care with cognitive behavioral tools and mindfulness exercises. That means sessions often include talking through what matters most to you, noticing unhelpful thinking patterns, and practicing simple grounding or breathing techniques. She also uses solution-focused strategies to identify realistic next steps and track progress.

Her areas of focus include midlife concerns, aging and geriatric issues, drug and alcohol addiction, mood and panic disorders, postpartum depression, seasonal affective disorder, social anxiety, self-love, and women's issues. Monica emphasizes small, achievable changes that add up over time.

She approaches work with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Monica encourages people to take the first step toward a more fulfilling life and offers steady support throughout the process.

Approaches that fit online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on what matters to the person in front of her. Monica listens, reflects back what she hears, and helps people name their goals and priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect; it helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and practice changes that reduce anxiety or low mood.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Monica will discuss goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. She aims to keep sessions practical so people can try strategies between meetings and report back on what worked.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking to know whether video, phone, or in-person meetings are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people practice skills where they live and report on real-life progress during sessions.
