Monica Rios, LPC

Monica Rios, LPC

Psychotherapist
NJ
Being able to express yourself fully—and feel understood—can make a meaningful difference in therapy, especially when you’re navigating stress, anxiety, or life changes. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, and substance use challenges. I provide therapy in both English and Spanish and have experience working with diverse communities, including individuals from Latina/Latino/Latinx backgrounds. My background includes working in community-based settings where I’ve supported clients through a wide range of emotional and life challenges. I have experience in crisis intervention, case management, and connecting individuals with resources that support long-term stability and well-being. This allows me to take a more holistic approach, understanding how personal, cultural, and environmental factors all play a role in mental health. My approach is collaborative, culturally responsive, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I focus on helping you build practical coping strategies, strengthen self-awareness, and create changes that feel realistic and sustainable. Some clients come in looking for support with a specific concern, while others want to better understand ongoing patterns. We adjust the focus based on what feels most useful, so therapy stays relevant to your life. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable being yourself, understood in your experiences, and supported as you move toward meaningful change.
