Monica Schneider, LPC

Monica Schneider is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oregon with two decades of experience. She began in industrial psychology and carries a strong interest in career development. Monica focuses on practical steps that help people handle major transitions and day-to-day struggles.

She helps people work through grief and loss, manage depression, and navigate career changes. Monica also supports those coping with attention and concentration challenges, including ADHD-related difficulties, and seasonal shifts that affect mood. Her approach centers on building on a person’s strengths and clear, manageable goals.

Monica draws on her background in psychology and workplace-focused research to offer straightforward tools. Sessions often involve clarifying priorities, improving routines, and breaking problems into smaller steps. She emphasizes concrete strategies that fit into everyday life.

She believes clients know their own stories and that therapy is a collaborative effort. Monica aims to create a supportive space where people can explore options and test new habits. She frames progress as small, steady changes rather than sudden transformations.

Her combination of counseling experience and a doctorate in Industrial Psychology informs work on career concerns and life transitions. Monica encourages practical problem solving alongside emotional processing so changes last beyond the therapy room.

Practical approaches for thoughts and daily habits

Monica uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on thinking patterns and everyday routines. One common approach is behavioral work that identifies small habit changes and builds step-by-step routines to reduce overwhelm and improve concentration. This can help with ADHD-related difficulties, low energy, and managing day-to-day tasks.

Another frequent element is problem-solving therapy, which breaks problems into clear parts and tests simple, realistic solutions. That approach is useful for career decisions, coping with life changes, and handling tasks when mood is low. Both approaches aim to create practical, repeatable changes rather than abstract goals.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss needs, goals, and preferences to decide which techniques to try first, and will adjust methods based on what works. Clients and therapist work together to set small goals and measure progress over time.
